A hill in Dumfries and Galloway, Criffell rises to 569m (1867 feet) 2
miles (3 km) south of New Abbey. The prominent Criffell ridge forms an
elevated tract of land some 15 miles (24 km) in length and is composed of
granite that has resisted weathering more readily than the surrounding
rock. At its summit is a pile of stones called Douglas's Cairn. |
