  • Merrick is the highest mountain in the Southern Uplands of southern Scotland and is part of the Range of the Awful Hand. The shortest route of ascent is from the car park in Glen Trool. The car park is located near Bruces Stane, a monument commemorating the victory of Robert the Bruce over the English forces of Edward II at the Battle of Glen Trool in 1307. An interesting feature on the mountain is the presence of several large partly buried granite boulders at about 800m on the broad west ridge. These are glacial erratics, though the exact mechanism that has brought them to rest close to the highest point of the Southern Uplands and over 200m higher than any currently occurring granite in the Galloway Hills is unclear.
  • Merrick (en gaélico escocés Mearaig es la montaña más alta en las Southern Uplands de Escocia meridional, y forma parte de la cordillera de Awful Hand. La ruta más corta de ascenso es desde el aparcamiento en Glen Trool. El aparcamiento está cerca de Bruces Stane, un monumento que conmemora la victoria de Roberto Bruce sobre las fuerzas inglesas de Eduardo II en la batalla de Glen Trool en 1307. Un rasgo interesante de la montaña es la presencia de varios grandes cantos rodados de granito en gran medida enterrados a alrededor de 800 metros de la amplia cresta occidental. No se sabe con exactitud cómo han llegado aquí estos cantos rodados de origen glaciar, tan cerca del punto más alto de las Southern Uplands y a más de 200 metros por encima de cualquier otro canto rodado de granito actual en las colinas Galloway.
