Nutberry Hill
A 522m hill in the Ayrshire hills south of Glasgow with at least 150m of prominence — enough to feel like a real summit rather than a shoulder. The modest height belies the quality of the walking.

Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent through the Galloway Forest Park or open moorland to the 522m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Mixed terrain through forest and over open moor. The granite geology gives good drainage on the higher ground.
In winter
Galloway winters are mild, influenced by the Gulf Stream. Snow is rare below 500m. These are among the most accessible winter hills in Scotland.
