Kirriereoch Hill, Mountain summit in Galloway Hills, Scotland
Located at an elevation of 786 meters, Kirriereoch Hill features a distinctive boundary wall at its peak marking the highest point in South Ayrshire.
Originally classified as both a Corbett and Marilyn, Kirriereoch Hill lost these classifications in 1984 before regaining Marilyn status in 2015 with measured prominence.
The name Kirriereoch translates from Scottish Gaelic to 'Hill of the Brindled Quarter', reflecting the traditional language heritage of the region.
Hikers can access detailed maps and GPX files through Hill Bagging platform, with OS Landranger 77 map providing essential navigation information for the ascent.
The hill stands within the Range of the Awful Hand, characterized by three distinct summit cairns positioned at different grid references across the hilltop.
