Hunt Hill is a hill in Angus, Scotland, in the south of the Cairngorms National Park and about 4 km (2.5 mi) west north west of Loch Lee. It reaches 705.4 m (2,314 ft) and has a prominence of 181 m (594 ft), and is a Marilyn, a Graham and a Simm.[1] It is the 1,947th highest peak in Scotland, and the 2,321st in the United Kingdom.[2]

Hunt Hill can be ascended from a car park at the end of the Glen Esk road, a return walk of 11 mi (18 km) taking 6 hours. The walk is described as "a splendid and varied walk to a fine hilltop" and passes the Falls of Unich and the Falls of Damp on the Water of Unich before climbing to the summit from the south and descending to Glen Lee in the north before rejoining the outward path along Loch Lee[3][4]
