21 Above is a view back towards Caplaw Rig from Well Hill. If you go up to the fence on the crest of the hill you can see down towards Troloss at the head of the Dalveen Pass which is on the right edge of this picture. You can see the masts on the top of Green Lowther (732mts) in the middle of the picture.
In the picture below I am a bit higher up the fence line and zooming in we can follow the A702 as it winds it's way from the top of the Dalveen Pass across to the M74 motorway. The motorway crosses the picture at the bottom of the dark tree line and you may just be able to see vehicles on it in this picture as little white dots just left of centre. Next time you are travelling up the M74 you can look up this valley to Well Hill - you'll at least be able to easily recognise the golf ball on top of Lowther on a clear enough day from the motorway. Trapped on a motorway or free on the hill - I know where I would rather be. The hills you see in the background are the Culters.
The source of the River Clyde is down there in the valley near the A702 at Glenochar just before you get to the motorway. See Page 26 for further infortmation about this.
