Dunman, a rocky hill on the SW coast of Kirkmaiden parish, Wigtownshire, overhanging the sea, 4 ¼ miles WNW of the Mull of Galloway. It rises to a height of 522 feet; is crowned with the vestiges of an ancient fort, probably of the times of the Strathclyde or Cumbrian kingdom; and, about the end of last century, had an eagle's eyrie on its cliffs.
