Coran of Portmark
Hill in the Southern Uplands of Scotland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coran of Portmark is a hill in the Rhinns of Kells, a sub-range of the Galloway Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The most northerly Donald of the range, it is climbed from a number of directions; most commonly from Garryhorn near Carsphairn, often the first hill of a full traverse of the ridge.[1] An old settlement to the west lends its name to the hill.[5]
