Kye Hill

Kye Hill is a hill by Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland.[1] It lies southwest of The Clashmach hill and is nearly the same height.[2] There is a former limestone quarry on the north side.[2] The name originated from it being a favourite grazing place of the cows belonging to the surrounding farmers,[2] "kye" being Scots language for "cows".
