Lowther Hill

Located on the border of South Lanarkshire and Dumfries and Galloway, Lowther Hill gives its name to a range of hills which form part of the Southern Uplands. Lying 7 miles (11 km) east of Sanquhar, it is the second highest peak of the Lowther Hills, rising to a height of 725m (2378 feet). Close to the summit is a distinctive lollipop-shaped communications tower which is operated by National Air Traffic Services (NATS) as an important part of the British air traffic control system.
