Glen Ea's Hill

Standing at 549 metres in the Lowther Hills, this grassy summit forms part of the rolling moorland plateau that characterises this corner of the Southern Uplands. The ascent is typically tackled from the Dalveen Pass, often combined with neighbouring tops along the broad ridge. Views extend across the Lowther plateau to the higher peaks of this compact range.

• •The name likely derives from the Scots Gaelic 'gleann', meaning valley, combined with 'Ea' – though the exact origin of this second element remains uncertain, it may reference a personal name or local water feature that has since been lost to history.
• •The hill sits within the Lowther Hills, a range historically shaped by lead mining activity, with the nearby Leadhills and Wanlockhead once forming Scotland's highest villages and most productive lead-mining communities.
• •Glen Ea's Hill qualifies as a Donald Dewey, placing it among Scotland's hills between 500 and 609 metres with sufficient prominence – a classification that draws far less attention than its Munro cousins, despite offering equally expansive moorland walking.
