Merrick

A prominent summit in Dumfries and Galloway, the Merrick rises to 843m (2764 feet) in the Rhins of Kells, Dumfries and Galloway, meeting the criterion for classification as a Corbett. The highest hill in the Southern Uplands, it is one of five summits in the Range of the Awful Hand, a group of peaks that form the shape of a hand in the heart of the Galloway Forest Park. On the southeast face of the Merrick is a rocky outcrop in the shape of a man's face known as the Grey Man of Merrick.
