11 Boundary fences often meet like this on the tops of hills. Here we are at the top of Dun Law looking back to White Law and Lousie Wood Law. Culter Fell is the bump that you see just to the left of the top of Lousie Wood Law, and Gathersnow Hill can be seen just to the right of it. Broad Law in the Manor hills is the snowy top quarter way into the picture from the right, it is the second highest hill in the south of Scotland after the Merrick down in Galloway.
The views to the west are still tantalising as you can see in the two pictures below. The detail is just not sufficient to be certain of what we are seeing in detail but I take it to be the Rhinns of Kells in the first picture below and Cairnsmore of Carsphairn and Beninner in the second (the white hills on the right half of the picture) where the camera has been moved slightly to the right (north) compared with the first picture. The distinctive wide cleft through the hills made by the Glenkens, separating the Scaur hills from the Galloway hills and taking the A713 road from Dumfries and Galloway up into Ayrshire would lie nicely where it should be, to the left of Beninner, in the bottom picture if I am correct.
Certainly the compass bearing and the metre stick laid over the maps would suggest this is correct, but as I say it is still the sort of tantalising puzzle that challeges folk who go into the hills and who like to know what they are seeing around them - like myself and most other hill walkers I suspect. Corserine would be the white top just left of centre in the first picture below if I am right.
