The map above shows six routes onto Cairnsmore of Fleet. The red and white route is the Tourist Route onto the hill and is one of the most popular routes in the Galloway hills. It is linear - you come back the same way you went up. The red route is a circular route based on the tourist route. The blue route is again linear and comes in from the Clints of Dromore. The yellow route is circular and again starts from the Clints of Dromore but goes up by Loch Grannoch, Craigronald and Meilke Mulltaggart onto Cairnsmore. The purple route is linear and starts from Dunkitterick Cottage where Alexander Murray was born in 1775 (the shepherd's son who became professor of Oriental Languages at Edinburgh University). The green route is also linear and starts from the obelisk monument to Murray and goes up over Craignelder.
