Walk: Tinto - Hill of Fire
South Lanarkshire | Tinto Hills | Half day walk | ★★★★ [Tinto summit cairn] If you live in southern Scotland you'll probably already be familiar with Tinto. Standing tall amidst low ground, this is a great spot to pick out many of the country's hill ranges. The Pentlands, Moorfoots, Lammermuirs, Campsies, Trossachs, Cheviots and Galloway Hills are just a few, and that's before you include the peaks beyond the Scottish mainland: the English Lake District and Arran should both easily be visible on a clear day. This is the most popular ascent route: the path is wider than some roads, and leads past a double-walled Roman Fort directly to the 43 metre-wide, Bronze Age summit cairn - adding four metres to the hill's height and visible from the car park. The path splits at one point, but it doesn't matter which branch you choose. [View from the south at Wiston Mains (not on this walking route) (9/4/19)] Location & info 📌 Walk: Tinto - Hill of Fire ★
