Tinto Hill in South Lanarkshire, Scotland offers a challenging 4.2-mile out-and-back trail with stunning views on a clear day. The hike takes about 2 hours and 49 minutes to complete and is popular for hiking, running, and walking. Be prepared for loose gravel and scree near the summit, so watch your step, especially in wet or icy conditions. Walking poles and sturdy footwear are recommended. The exposed summit can get cold and windy, so layer up even on warm days. Keep an eye out for historic points of interest along the trail, including a hillfort and a large cairn at the top. The area can get busy on weekends and holidays, so plan accordingly!
