Moorland west of Benailsa, Galloway On the horizon, is Larg Hill and, to the right, the small hump of Sheauchan Craig. To the left (unseen) beyond the green wedge of forestry lies Loch Middle. Larg Hill dominates the area at over 2000 feet and is a favourite with more adventurous walkers who ascend it en route for the hills around Loch Trool. It can also be reached via Loch Middle by following the forestry roads. The stretch of tussocky moorland in the photograph is crossed by a number of streams and becomes very boggy in wet weather.
