'''Tinto''' is a hill in [[South Lanarkshire]], [[Scotland]]. Tinto is an outlying part of the [[Southern Uplands]], comprising little more than this one hill, which stands on the west bank of the [[River Clyde]], some eight kilometres west of [[Biggar, Scotland|Biggar]]. The peak is also called "Tinto Tap", with the name Tinto possibly deriving from the [[Scottish Gaelic]] word ''teinnteach'', meaning "fiery". An old [[Scots language|Scots]] children's rhyme tells of the "kist in the mist" at "Tinto tap", ''kist'' being the Scots word for ''[[Chest (furniture)|chest]]''. It is accessible for walking (moderate to difficult) and is one of the premier locations for [[hanggliding]] and [[paragliding]]. Tinto is located near the small village of [[Thankerton]].
