Culter Fell & Gathersnow Hill
Routes on the hills south of Coulter
The rolling grass and heather covered Culter Hills lie just south of Biggar and are easily accessed via narrow roads and tracks. The highest peaks (and the only Grahams in the circuit) are Culter Fell and Gathersnow Hill - vast heather and grass covered lumps. Navigation is fairly easy as most of the crests have well-maintained fences to follow.Main route summary

Recent wind-turbine construction has added new tracks which make for easy navigation, but spoil what was previously a fairly remote area.
