About Millfore
Millfore sits in the Minnigaff Hills, a sub-range of the Galloway Hills within the Southern Uplands, north-east of Newton Stewart inside Galloway Forest Park. It draws fewer walkers than others in the group, though the summit gives a wide outlook over neighbouring hills and Loch Dee.
The White Laggan glen cuts it off from the hills to the west, so it is often taken as a single objective, most commonly from Clatteringshaws Loch on the eastern side.
