Drumlane Hill is a prominent geographical feature located in Wigtownshire, Scotland. Standing at an elevation of approximately 300 meters (984 feet), it is classified as a hill rather than a mountain. Situated in the southern part of Wigtownshire, Drumlane Hill is part of the Galloway Hills, a range renowned for its scenic beauty and rugged landscape.

The hill is characterized by its distinctive shape, with a gentle slope on the southern side and a steeper, craggy northern face. It is primarily composed of granite, which gives it a striking appearance and provides a solid foundation for the surrounding terrain. The hill's summit offers magnificent panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, with rolling hills, farmland, and nearby Loch Ryan visible in the distance.

Drumlane Hill is a popular destination for outdoor enthusiasts, attracting hikers, walkers, and nature lovers throughout the year. Its well-maintained trails provide access to the hill's summit, allowing visitors to enjoy the breathtaking vistas and observe the local flora and fauna. The area is rich in biodiversity, with a variety of plant and animal species thriving in the hill's diverse ecosystems.

Due to its location in Wigtownshire, Drumlane Hill is conveniently accessible from nearby towns and villages, such as Stranraer and Glenluce. Its close proximity to Loch Ryan and the coastline also makes it an ideal spot for those interested in combining hillwalking with coastal exploration.

Overall, Drumlane Hill offers a captivating blend of natural beauty, recreational opportunities, and historical significance, making it a must-visit destination for both locals and tourists alike.

Old milestone This milestone is so close to the road edge and it looks as if vehicles have almost caught it. Lorries, delivery vans, camper vans and caravans all travel along this quite narrow, busy road. 2 miles to Wigtown but the 1 mile milestone has not been found. Nice plants in the garden.
