Brimmond Hill is a hill in Aberdeen, Scotland. The summit is the highest point within the Aberdeen City council area, at an elevation of 266 m (873 ft).
The hill itself is situated in the area between Kingswells, Westhill, Blackburn and Dyce. There is a transmitter on the top of the hill, and there are also paths and a road to the top of the hill. The hill can be reached directly from paths that connect to Kingswells, and at the summit a view across the city of Aberdeen is available.
Transmitter site
The top of the hill has a collection of transmitter sites for microwave transmission, by line-of-sight communication. The communication sites from here have direct links between North Sea Oil platforms and their headquarters in Aberdeen.
