Myreton Hill is the hill immediately behind (to the North East of) the village of Menstrie in the Ochil Hills of Scotland. See the map for location.

The track up the scarp face of Myreton Hill leads to some calcite workings which date from the Napoleonic Wars. Today it is used by the farmer to access his livestock, and also forms the beginning of a useful walking route giving access to the main part of the Ochil Hills.

Myreton Hill is not quite as high as its neighbour Dumyat, from which it is separated by the deep Menstrie Glen, but although even more easily accessible than Dumyat in terms of gradients and paths, it is much less popular, being visually far less distinctive than its neighbour.

Myreton Hill is however very useful to the local hang-gliding community, as it is easily ascended to a suitable point while carrying equipment, and its scarp face is adequately steep for a successful launch.
