Overview

Join Glasgow Young Walkers for a walk up Green Lowther and Lowther Hill, Wanlockhead . As per Walkhighlands 'The Lowther Hills have steep flanks but gentle rolling summits. The two highest, Green Lowther and Lowther Hill, both have radio masts or other impedimentia on their summits - including a (private) tarmac road.
