Marilyn · Galloway
Craigenreoch
A 565m hill in Galloway in the far southwest with at least 150m of prominence — enough to feel like a real summit rather than a shoulder. The modest height belies the quality of the walking.

Standard route
A steady ascent through the Galloway Forest Park or open moorland to the 565m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Mixed terrain through forest and over open moor. The granite geology gives good drainage on the higher ground.
In winter
Gentle winter conditions in Galloway. The southwestern position means warmer temperatures than the Highlands. Good paths remain usable year-round.
