The Hills Wood map covers an area of well-contoured, open grazing
land, bordered on the north and west by fields and a small wood at the
eastern end. The map was first used for the Scottish Relay Championships
in 1986 and was later used for colour-coded events. Because of its
close proximity to Dumfries, Hills Wood has been popular for summer evening
events.
