Culter Fell, Mountain summit in South Lanarkshire, Scotland
Description
Culter Fell is a mountain summit in the Southern Uplands with a height of 748 meters and a prominence of 350 meters above surrounding terrain. The landscape around it is relatively open with gentle slopes and clear views from the top.
History
The mountain once marked the highest point of the historic county of Lanarkshire and remains the peak of the modern South Lanarkshire council area. The region has been shaped by sheep herding over centuries, influencing how the landscape developed.
Culture
The surroundings show traditional Scottish hill farming, with sheep herds grazing across the gentle slopes. This way of using the land shapes how the area looks today.
Practical
Ascents usually start from Birthwood where parking is limited and recent regulations restrict vehicle access to private roads. It helps to arrive early and bring proper hiking boots and weatherproof clothing, as conditions can change quickly on the slopes.

On clear days, the summit offers a panoramic view stretching from the lakes of the Cumbrian Fells to the distant Scottish Highlands. These vistas span multiple mountain ranges and different landscapes, making it a rewarding spot for views.
