12 The picture above shows the view south from Meaul. There is still a wee nameless hump (in sunlight) between us and Carlin's Cairn. Beyond Carlin's Cairn, Corserine's top is still in the low cloud but now you can see the long ridge of Polmaddy Gairy heading downwards to the left side of the picture where it will end abruptly in Craignelder. As mentioned earlier the green route on Page 01 comes down that way. In the second picture we are looking north over the various hills we have come over today and Loch Doon reaching out into the distance. In the third picture we have the southern end of Loch Doon where Loch Doon Castle is situated - just under the red asterisk. Here is a link to a website with aerial pictures of the castle. This castle has an interesting history. There is a forest road from just south of Dalmellington that brings you down the west side of Loch Doon past the castle. It goes over by Loch Riecawr and Loch Bradan and ends up some 5 km north of Shalloch on Minnoch (as the crow flies) at Stinchar Bridge on the unclassified road from Newton Stewart to Straiton.
