Glengaber Hill (Wanlockhead)

6 June 2023

Where: Glengaber Hill, 515m/1,690', P 40m, Tump, OS 71/78, NS 848 138 

Another visit to Wanlockhead and the excellent Lowther Hills. I was able to drive to and park at the end of the metalled road which went north from the village and which passed a number of old mine workings. This is now the route of the Southern Upland Way and a good path continued to within a few hundred metres of the top of Glengaber Hill, which is unmarked. The hill from the parking area.....
