Meikle Millyea

Meikle Millyea is a hill in the Rhinns of Kells range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The true summit of the hill has been disputed over the years; a 2015 survey concluded that the southwest top, around 400m southwest from the trig point and cairn is approximately 2m higher. [4]
