Cairnsmore of Carsphairn lies close to Carsphairn, on the A713 road from Ayr to Castle Douglas, from where a track leads onto its SW slopes. Cairnsmore of Carsphairn is a gently rounded hill (there are some crags to the SE of the summit) surrounded by folds in its slopes that are not quite ridges. The true ridges run S to Black Shoulder turning W to Dunool, and N to Currie Rig. Thus the main axis of this hill is N-S.

Enjoyable climb - the ascent was in ever-thickening fog, and I stumbled upon the summit almost without realising. The cairn just next to the trig point seems unnecessary and spoils the top a little. Weather cleared for my descent (same route). Note - about 800m from Bridge-end there is a broken bridge, so you have to wade across Benloch Burn or use the rocks.
