26 In the picture above you can see the Pulskaig Burn running north. It has come down from Loch Enoch in a valley to the left of this picture which lies between us here and Mullwharchar. You can see where it meets the Gala Lane which in turn runs north out of the Dry Loch of the Dungeon. Joined up they head merrily north to outlet in Loch Doon. The River Doon in turn runs out of the north end of Loch Doon on its way down to the Firth of Clyde near Alloway (where the National Bard Robert Burns was born). So the water flowing under the "Auld Brig 'O Doon" where Tam 'O Shanter's nag Maggie lost her tail to the witch Nannie originates in Loch Enoch. I wonder if Rabbie was ever up among these hills around Loch Enoch.
This line up from Loch Enoch along the Pulskaig Burn and Gala Lane to the northern end of Loch Doon marks the boundary between Dumfries and Galloway Region and Strathclyde Region. This loup northwards means that the whole length of the Rhinns of Kells is in Dumfries and Galloway.
The second picture shows the view south along the eastern face of the Dungeon Hills.
The third picture shows how interesting this wee ridge of the Brishie is.
