I visited Goseland Hill near Biggar for a short walk as a prelude to visiting Windlestraw later. This was in an attempt to follow the decent weather around, which wasn't forecast to stay in one place for very long!

I parked in a space next to the track up to Gosland, on the road to the south. I headed diagonally up Oak Brae to make the climb less steep. This brought me to a minor summit of Goseland Hill, where I turned north-west and continued up to the main summit. Not a big sub, but its location meant there were good views all around, particularly south into the Coulter Hills and north to Biggar and Broughton Heights.

I headed back down, finding a track taking me south past Gosland and then back to the road.
