View of Loch Braden

Highlight • Lake

Fantastic views across the wild rolling hills of Ayrshire. On a clear day, you should be able to spot Loch Braden.

Cornish Loch

Highlight • Natural

This secluded and peaceful loch is nestled in the wide-open hills of south Ayrshire. Take a seat and enjoy the views.

Tip by

3.77 km

This is a tough hike from Loch Riecawr through the forest but the reward is the stunning views over woodland, lochs and of the surrounding Galloway hills. What a treat! A faint path leads off towards Craigmasheenie.

Tip by

5.47 km

Craigmasheenie

Highlight • Summit

Craigmasheenie is a hill in Galloway. The area around this is a wild and rocky place - crags and tufty grasses/heather galore! The highest point is the rock at 539m. Views across the surrounding Galloway hills are simply out of this world.

Shalloch on Minnoch Summit

Highlight • Natural Monument

This pin marks the highest point on Shalloch on Minnoch but there is also a trig pillar and shelter north-west of this cairn. If you hike to this mountain from the North Top in march, be sure you don't trample any frogs along the way! There are hundreds breeding here in early spring.

Shalloch on Minnoch North Top (Caerloch Dhu)

Highlight • Summit

This hill has a wide plateau top. We approached from the direction of Craigmasheenie and it was a tough slog over boggy, uneven ground as part of the Ring of Fire route. This area has such a remote feel.
