Dungeon Hills

Often regarded as the roughest hills in the Southern Uplands, walks can frequently take longer than anticipated due to the underfoot conditions of tussocks and bog.

From north to south the hills are: The SSSI Ramsar Silver Flowe, lies directly east of the range, and is a blanket mire, described as the least-disturbed area of acid peatland in southern Scotland.

[11][12] It forms part of the Silver Flowe-Merrick Kells Biosphere Reserve, which incorporates a considerable portion of both ranges to the west and east, and is a Natura 2000 site.

[14] Most of the surrounding lochs suffered severe acidification in the past, however have made partial recoveries and Brown trout populations, often restocked, remain stable.

Names include: the Rig of the Jarkness, Clints of the Buss, Lump of the Eglin, the Wolf Slock and Seggy Gut.
