About Windy Gyle

Windy Gyle is a mountain. Location: Alwinton, Northumberland. Elevation: 619 m.

From Wikipedia

Windy Gyle is a mountain in the Cheviot Hills range, on the border between England and Scotland. Like the other hills in the area, it is rounded and grass-covered. It is the highest summit on the border, although not the highest point as the border is higher where it runs along the western shoulder of The Cheviot, at a point called Cairn Hill West Top, or Hangingstone Hill.
