Benbrack

Rising to 581 metres in the Carsphairn Hills, this grassy summit forms part of a moorland ridge in the Southern Uplands. The ascent involves typical Southern Uplands terrain of heather and tussock, with a modest but satisfying prominence that earns it Donald Dewey status. Views extend across neighbouring Galloway hills and moorland plateaus.

• •The name Benbrack derives from Scottish Gaelic 'beinn bhreac', meaning 'speckled mountain' or 'dappled hill', likely referring to the patchwork appearance of heather, grass, and exposed rock across its slopes.
• •The Carsphairn Hills form a relatively quiet corner of the Southern Uplands, with Benbrack receiving far fewer visitors than the better-known Merrick massif to the west, despite offering similarly extensive moorland walking.
• •Its classification as a Donald Dewey places it among Scottish hills between 500 and 599 metres with at least 30 metres of prominence, a list considerably less populated than the higher Corbetts and Grahams.
