Everything about The Galloway Hills totally explained
The
Galloway Hills are part of the
Southern Uplands of
Scotland, and form the northern boundary of
Galloway. They lie chiefly in the old county of
Kirkcudbrightshire (now in
Dumfries and Galloway). At 843m, the Merrick is the highest point of the
Southern Uplands of Scotland.
The Galloway Hills comprise an area of several hundred square miles of largely uninhabited wild land. Much of the Galloway Hills lie within the bounds of
Galloway Forest Park, managed by the
Forestry Commission.

Old Norse,
Gaelic and
Celtic languages. A few examples include the Rig of the Jarkness, the Rig of the Gloon and the Dungeon of Buchan.
