Tinto, Mountain summit and scenic viewpoint in South Lanarkshire, Great Britain.
The 711-meter-high Tinto mountain stands out in the Southern Uplands landscape with its distinct shape visible from the surrounding valleys and hills.
The name Tinto originates from ancient geological formations dating back 420 million years during the Caledonian period when landmasses collided and shaped the region.
Local hiking groups regularly organize guided walks to Tinto's summit, marking it as a central location for outdoor activities in South Lanarkshire.
The northern approach starts from a designated car park near M74 junction 13, offering a well-maintained path that leads directly to the summit.
A large stone cairn marks the summit, providing unobstructed views across the Clyde Valley and toward the Culter Hills on clear days.
