| 33 In the picture above we are beginning
to descend from White Hill and we are looking straight north up the
line of the Dungeon Hills - Craiglee overlapping Craignaw and Craignaw
overlapping Mulwharchar as they head inward and to the left from the
centre of the picture. Merrick is on the left edge, Loch Dee is on
the right edge with the Rhinns of Kells beyond and the Silver Flowe
down in the hollow between the Rhinns and the Dungeons. In the picture below I have used a lot of zoom so that we can see over Craiglee and Meikle Craigtarson (which is the westerly shoulder of Corserine) to Loch Doon up in Ayshire where Robert the Bruce had a castle He must have seen this view and wondered how the future would work out for his troubled country when his fortune was at a very low ebb. He probably would not have been able to see Loch Doon from here though - the level of the loch was raised in 1935 for a Hydro Electric Scheme.
