Even at the height of summer (and there has been very little rain this summer) this is a very boggy walk and you need to be very sure footed with good waterproof footwear. The views are excellent on a clear day. Would I do it again, probably not.

Awesome hill - go flat out!

Stunning spot at the top of the Carrick Hills providing panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the Firth of Clyde, and the Isle of Arran. It stands at an elevation of 670 ft (204 m). On a clam night, this would make an excellent wild camping or bivvy spot, with views in all directions to wake up to.

This little hill comes with lovely views over the area and an interesting walk up through the Balbeg Arboretum. While you can walk down towards Straiton if you follow the deer fence and then cross over the sheep meadows down towards the farm, the easier way is up and down from Balbeg Holiday Cottages.

Deep in Dailly's rural countryside sits the summit of Barony Hill. The climb is a bit of a heart pounder but don't let this put you off because when you reach the top you will be rewarded with extensive views across the Girvan Valley, past Dailly, and out to Ailsa Craig.

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.

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.

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.
