St Magdalene's Hill is a hill located 1.5 miles (2.4 km) south-southwest of Perth, Scotland, next to the M90 motorway. Its summit is at 131 metres (430 ft).[2][1]
The hill (and woodland, which is shown on a 1783 military survey map) takes its name from St Mary Magdalene's hospital for the poor, which was located near the site.[3]
