05 Now we are ascending Steygail itself and we are looking back (South West) in the direction we have come so far. You can see valley of the Enterkin Water running diagonally across and into the picture from right to left just above Allan, and you can see the gentle, pleasant nature of the ridge we have come along.
Cairnkinna is the small hill just right of centre on the sky line - over in the Scaur hills beyond the valley of the River Nith (into which the Enterkin Water runs at Enterkinfoot).
In the picture below we are looking South and you can see the A702 near the left side of the picture. I have put a red asterisk to show where the car is parked.
View south from Steygail down the line of the A702 into Nithsdale
