16 Swinging the camera further to the right we are now looking over Loch Enoch to Meikle Millyea at the southern end of the Rhinns of Kells. Dungeon Hill and Craignaw in the Dungeon hills lie on the far side of Loch Enoch with the Nick of the Dungeon between them.
In the picture below I have zoomed in on the above picture. Mouseover to see the names of the hills. You can see Criffel near the left side of the picture. It lies some 36 miles (58Km) away from the Merrick by the River Nith south of Dumfries. Cairnsmore of Dee (just right of centre in the middle distance) lies south of Clatteringshaws Reservoir which you can also see by the right edge of the picture. Craignaw is the most rugged hill in the whole area and like many hills in this area is the site of an aircraft crash.
