    Tips

    October 13, 2024

    Bengairn is a 391m hill on the Dumfries and Galloway coast. It is classified as a Marilyn because it has over 150m of prominence.

    Bengairn is usually climbed with Screel Hill starting from the Forestry car park close to the A711.

    The path to Bengairn from Screel Hill isn't shown on any map but the start follows the wall below Screel Hill summit then skirts to the north then west of Mid Hill before reaching a gate in the wall at NX 77185 54974. From here there is a clear path to Bengairn summit.

    Bengairn summit is an even better viewpoint than Screel Hill.

    You can either return the same way or descend via the north east ridge through appalling long grass and bracken before reaching a lovely track that leads to another gate in the same wall at NX 77849 54576. From here a mapped track leads back to the car park.
