    Our first official suw circular walk.
    Starting in the museum carpark (museum seasonal with cafe) head off up the SUW to lowther hill. Reach the lunchbox shelter for a snack and to get out the wind (please shut the door when you leave) visit green lowther summit by passing round the radar station on lowther hill , then back down the radar road to the museum. WLH is Scotland's highest village and the WLH inn is open 6days per week all year round . Closed only on Mondays . Open 12pm - late. Food served 12pm-8pm

    Views can be incredible from the summit of Lowther hill stretching all the way to Arran and the Southern Highlands on the clearest winters day

    About the Calorie Calculator

    Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

    When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

    Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
