Parked at the car park to the north and hiked up. Clear paths with other hikers too, but very cold and snowing at the top so didn't stop for long before heading back down.SootAndShale09/03/2024

Tinto: the usual route from the north. Walkhighlands routehummusg30/01/2022
Murky day. Northern path, return same way with 2 local lads, discussing UFC and Lanark pub recommendations. Fogbow and brocken spectre on summit, at times very intense. Other visible hills above cloud inversion were White Coomb, Broad Law and Culter groups. At dawn an entire flock of about a hundred sheep on the hillside were sleeping/resting in a long line single file.. from a distance it looked like a trench had been filled with white gravel. They had all dispersed by time I descendedNick Canute14/01/2022
