The Merrick, part of the Range of the Awful Hand, a sub-range of the Galloway Hills.This spectacular peak is visible from Penninghame Estate and tempts hill walkers and climbers from far and wide. Whilst a challenging climb, the reward of the awe-inspiring view at top is motivation enough to push you onwards.
