Carsphairn and Scaur Hills
The Carsphairn and Scaur hills are the western and eastern hills respectively of a hill range in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. Ordnance Survey maps don't have a general name for the hill area as a whole. Also, Ordnance Survey use "Scar" rather than the local spelling of "Scaur" - the word is pronounced as "Scar" however. In their Landranger Series of maps it requires four separate sheets to cover the area.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Printed Maps, Digital Maps, Online Maps, GPS Devices - Ordnance Survey Shop )〕
==Location==
This range lies between two other ranges, the Galloway hills to the west and the Lowther hills to the east. The overall shape of this hill area is oval with the longer curved sides to top and bottom. From the north western point of the oval at Dalmellington to the south eastern one at Thornhill is around 39 kilometres (as the crow flies), though Dalmellington lies some 10 kilometres further north than Thornhill. So the axis of the oval runs from north west to south east. Taking a section across the west end of the oval, from New Cumnock in the north to Carsphairn in the south it is over 19 kilometres and on the east a similar cross section from Sanquhar to Moniaive is almost the same (19 kilometres). The north west quarter of the oval lies in Ayrshire in Strathclyde Region and the other three quarters are in Dumfries and Galloway.
By comparison with the Galloway and Lowther hills these hills are much less frequented or known about except by the local populace - for whom the hills have a special place in the folk memories of the communities. There are also many more communities immediately around these hills than around either the Lowthers or the Galloway hills and what to call this hill area would be challenged strongly by these local communities who would each wish to claim the hills for their own. Being much more readily accessible and in general considerably less challenging than the neighbouring ranges these hills are much more lived in and used on a daily basis by the local communities. They are exploited on an altogether more casual basis, by communities which strongly identify with them.
