13 Because these hills are really just huge lumps of granite with the merest coating of vegetation on top, rainwater has no way of escaping into the ground and there are plenty of small pools like this one above all over the Dungeon Hills. That's the Minnigaff Hills that we see in profile to the south with Curleywee on the left, Lamachan the highest top and Mulldonoch on the right. Bennabrack is the wee dump you see just left of Lamachan and there is a very nice ridge down from there to Curleywee.
Below is a view over the same pool looking north to Craignaw - granite outcrops, pools and boulders everywhere. Craignaw is not the highest hill in the area but I would say it is the most interesting.
