The steeper parts of the hill were covered with flowering gorse but I couldn&#8217;t really make out the remains of the hilltop fort that are obvious on aerial photos.<\/p>\n<p>I was surprised by the views from such a lowly summit: Ailsa Craig, Arran, Ireland, Isle of Man, Galloway hills, and of course the Mull of Galloway.<\/p>\n\n<script>\r\n        if (typeof osDataHubMap != 'object') { var osDataHubMap = { mapList: [] }; }\r\n        osDataHubMap.mapList.push({\r\n            map: null,\r\n            options: {\r\n                mapId: 1,\r\n                openDataStyle: 'Outdoor',\r\n                zoom: 7,\r\n                minZoom: 2,\r\n                maxZoom: 11,\r\n                maxLeisure: 9.5,\r\n                zoomStep: 1,\r\n                center: '',\r\n                defaultCenter: '50.938064,-1.470971',\r\n                mapFit: 'auto',\r\n                gestures: true,\r\n                fullscreen: true,\r\n                autoFit: true,\r\n                autoFitMargin: 20,\r\n                popup: '',\r\n                restrictPan: false,\r\n                canPrint: false,\r\n                locate: false,\r\n                startLocate: false,\r\n                showScale: true,\r\n                gpxStyle: false,\r\n                waypoint: true,\r\n                imperial: true,\r\n                hover: true,\r\n                markerLink: '',\r\n                markerZoom: '',\r\n                startIconColor: '',\r\n                endIconColor: '',\r\n                gpxList: [\r\n                    { weight: 4, opacity: 0.7, color: '#3366cc', group: 0, text: '', url: 'https:\/\/www.screel.co.uk\/walks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/RK_gpx-_2016-02-15_1600.gpx' },\r\n                ],\r\n            }\r\n        });\n<\/script>\n<div class='os-datahub-map-target' id='os-datahub-target-1'><\/div>\n<div class='os-datahub-map' id='os-datahub-map-1' style='max-width:100%; height: 400px;'><\/div>\n<a class='osmap_download' href='https:\/\/www.screel.co.uk\/walks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/RK_gpx-_2016-02-15_1600.gpx' download title='Right click and choose save-as if the direct click does not work.'>Download file for GPS<\/a>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1.3 miles 30 mins ascent 75m Cairn Pat (Marilyn) I have often considered going up this hill when I&#8217;m across at Stranraer for work.
