The highest hill in Dumfriesshire at 821m, climbed from the same car park as Grey Mare's Tail below. A full loop with a 360-degree panorama over the Moffat Hills and Loch Skeen, but a hard day out on an exposed summit.
Well-known Borders/Galloway hill above the Grey Mare's Tail reserve; robust and legal.
