Mosscastle Hill (Glespin)

16 September 2019

 

Participants: Just me

Where: Mosscastle Hill, 414m/1,358', P 86m, Tump, OS 71, NS 842 235

 

This one is south of Glespin reached by a road that crosses the hills to Crawfordjohn. Coming from the north, it looks as though the hill is completely tree covered but in fact the south slopes, including the summit, are clear.....

 

 

There was good parking at the start and the slopes, although a bit wet in places, provided easy walking alongside an old wall. It turned out to be a good viewpoint. To the east was Tinto.....

 

 

The pointed hill to the north-west I think is Dungavel Hill.....

 

 

 

 

and south are the Lowther Hills with the radar dome easily seen today.....
