Arbory Hill
Arbory Hill submitted by h_fenton : Arbory Hill hillfort, viewed from the east. With views over Abington, the River Clyde, the railway and the A74(M) motorway. Kite Aerial Photograph 23 September 2010 (Vote or comment on this photo)
A summit of South Lanarkshire, Arbory Hill rises to 429m (1407 feet) a mile (1.5 km) east northeast of Abington. The remains of a well-preserved Iron Age hill-fort crowns the hill, comprising a walled enclosure and huts circles surrounded by a double rampart.

The village of Abington, River Clyde, the A74(M) motorway and main-line railway are all squeezed into the narrow valley to the west
