This place looks amazing. Quite a construction. I know Galloway fairly well yet this wonder had completely passed me by. Brilliant.
This is as close as I got in ‘19 thanks to dodgy map reading and trying to combine with photographing a special steam train on the line nearby.. no worthwhile pix. There are some interesting small cairns hidden in the gorse etc thereabouts. Fine site. Well done.
Tx Howburn Digger/spencer. Cruise Back Fell is readily accessible via the Southern Upland Way at Cruise Farm. A short detour to the N leads to Cruise E & W Cairns, to the S leads to Littlepark Cairn & Cruise Back Fell Fort. The fort was a nice surprise, better preserved than I expected.
