Known for the windfarm , and
little else this is a highly industrialised hill in Lanarkshire.
The windfarm should protect the summit from the spruce trees
and open cast coal mines. Recently a fresh hole has appeared
towards Nutberry Hill, and any approach other than by the power
station access route could get complicated. The vast complex
towards Coalburn on the northern slopes seems to be exhausted.
The ascent from Douglas West
via the road is quick and easy, and appears a popular outing.
Its worth noting that this is an early development and that the
turbines are rather small by today's standards.
