Glengaber Hill

Rising to 515 metres in the Lowther Hills, this rounded summit occupies gently rolling moorland terrain typical of the Southern Uplands. The hill qualifies as a Dodd and Donald Dewey, offering straightforward walking across grass and heather with expansive views across the upper Clyde valley and surrounding border country.

• •The name 'Glengaber' derives from Scots Gaelic elements, likely combining 'gleann' (valley) with 'gabhar' (goat), suggesting the glen below was once known for wild or feral goats grazing its slopes.
• •The Lowther Hills form a distinct range of rounded, grassy summits between Nithsdale and Clydesdale, with Glengaber Hill sitting among the lower outliers north of the main watershed ridge.
• •As a Donald Dewey, Glengaber Hill meets the criteria of being between 500 and 609 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence, placing it among Scotland's middling moorland tops rather than the higher Munros or Corbetts.
