Standard route
Standard route
A steady ascent through the surprisingly wild landscape of southwest Scotland to the 510m summit. The walking is straightforward with clear views opening up as you gain height. Allow 2-4 hours.
Terrain
Forestry tracks and open moorland. The Galloway hills can be surprisingly boggy despite the gentle appearance.
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.
