ITH GRANITE SLABS, grassy tussocks and deep black peat, the Galloway Hills are lovable but tough. There is one really easy walk, however; and it’s a good ’un. A smooth and well-made path runs around beautiful Loch Trool, through ancient oakwood as well as young, regenerating birch trees that open wide views across the water to the Merrick range. Everyone enjoys this walk – well, almost everyone.
