Every ones gone to the moon.

This was our HOT walk today...2379ft up Lowther Hill .Scotland.....one of the highest places on the southern upland way....we found a NATS aircraft radar dome and transmitting station......it looked a bit like a moonscape.....the views worth the hard work getting there.

Odd to see a road across the top of a hill. It's for access to the radar station. Though private, I'm pretty sure it's the highest tarmac road in Scotland at around 730m at the top.
