Dance Information

Cairn Edward hill is not very high at 325 metres and lies about 1 mile (1.8km) due south of New Galloway, Castle Douglas, Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.

At the top of the hill is a cairn called Cairn Edward, said to have been built in the 14th-century in commemoration of Edward Bruce.
