Steep slope of Wether Hill viewed from Crawstone Snout Craig Cleuch flows down the hillside on the far left of the picture. The small sheepfold shown on the 1:25000 map is just to its right and if you look closely enough you can see some sheep and some faint paths crossing the hillside horizontally

Shapes and shadows of the Lowther Hills A view from Rodger Law of the distinctive steep, rounded shapes of the Lowther Hills. Auchenlone (East Mount Lowther) is particularly distinctive on the left of the photo, with the spur of Crawstone Snout separating the corries of Nether Pot and Upper Pot. The area's most distinctive landmark - the white 'golf ball' of the radar station on the top of Lowther Hill is also visible here.
