Struther's Brae

A grassy summit in the Carsphairn Hills, standing at 540 metres above the Galloway landscape. The name translates from Scots as 'the hillside' or 'slope', reflecting the rolling character of this corner of southwest Scotland. Its modest height belies genuine hill country walking among less-frequented terrain, with several fellow Donalds nearby for a longer day out.

• •The name derives from Scots 'brae', meaning a hillside or slope, with the possessive form suggesting historical association with a person or family named Struther, though specific records have not survived.
• •As part of the Carsphairn Hills, this summit sits within a range that forms a transition zone between the high Southern Uplands massifs to the east and the lower, more dissected hill country of Galloway to the west.
• •The hill qualifies as a Donald Dewey, placing it among Scotland's hills between 500 and 2000 feet with sufficient prominence, though it remains far less visited than the better-known Corbetts and Munros further north.
