Dargall Lane Dargall Lane is the name given to a meandering burn that crosses this low-lying, boggy moorland on the west of Loch Dee. The topography is developed within the granite intrusion of Loch Doon and rises to a rim of higher hills that mark the contact of the igneous rocks with hornfelsed Silurian greywackes.
