Marilyn · Galloway
Corse Hill
Only 376m tall but with enough prominence to stand alone in the Ayrshire hills south of Glasgow. This is the beauty of Marilyns — height is not everything when you have a genuine summit.

Standard route
Standard route
A short, accessible walk via quiet forestry tracks in the hills of Dumfries and Galloway to the 376m summit. The low altitude and gentle gradients make this achievable in 1-3 hours.
Terrain
Galloway terrain — a mix of forestry, moorland and granite. Rougher and wilder than the Borders to the east.
In winter
Galloway winters are mild, influenced by the Gulf Stream. Snow is rare below 500m. These are among the most accessible winter hills in Scotland.
