Lowther Hills, Hill chain in South Lanarkshire and Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland.
The Lowther Hills form a rhomboidal shape with acute angles north and south, reaching 732 meters at Green Lowther peak.
The region earned the name 'God's Treasure House in Scotland' due to its mineral deposits, including pure gold used in Scottish crown jewelry.
The hills contain multiple passes, including Dalveen, Mennock, and Crawick, which connect important transportation routes through the Southern Uplands.
Three access roads cross the hills from southwest to northeast, with parking available near Overfingland along the A702 route.
The area contains Scotland's highest village, Wanlockhead, and features the only community-owned ski center in the country.
