Glen Trool: Bruce's Stone - Gairland Burn - Loch Enoch - Little Spear - Merrick - Benyellary - Culsharg Bothy - Bruce's Stone
Merrick via the North Face! This challenging trek eschews the usual 'tourist route' up Southern Scotland's highest mountain and instead makes a scenic ascent via the valley of the Gairland Burn, past Lochs Valley, Neldricken, Arron and Enoch and climbs Little Spear at 2,755ft before tackling Merrick's 2,764ft. The descent is via Benyellary (2,360ft) and the Culsharg Bothy.
Please note that there are no refreshments available on this walk, but these may be found at the Glentrool Visitor Centre at Stroan Bridge. There are toilet facilities here and at the first Bruce's Stone car park.
