While there are at least two first-class photographers operating in Dumfries & Galloway, I don't think there's anyone with a better collection of pictures of the hill ground. The Galloway Hills (sometimes called the Galloway Highlands) are a ring of 2000ft tops including the Merrick and the Rhinns of the Kells, surrounding an area of granite slabs lochs and bog with Craignaw, the Dungeon, Mullwarchar and Loch Enoch. This is the finest, but not the only, hill ground of the region. To the south lies Cairnsmore of Fleet, and eastwards are the grassy and somewhat unexciting Carsphairn Hills with their windfarms. Eastwards again, in Dumfriesshire, are the Lowthers and the coastal granite lump of Criffel. A corner of the Moffat Hills, including Hart Fell, also lies within our region. A
