Set in the remote South West part of Scotland, surrounded by vast mountains, forests, and lochs this is the perfect location for a wild adventure!

The route starts at Bruce`s Stone at the head of Loch Trool; there is a panoramic view that includes much of the Galloway Forest, Ailsa Craig, The Isle of Man, and Northern Ireland. The path to the summit crosses over the top of Ben Yellary which along with The Merrick form two of the five knuckles of the wild Range.
