Tarfessock is a mountain in the Range of the Awful Hand – a part of the Galloway Hills overspreading the county border of Ayrshire with Kirkcudbrightshire: Tarfessock is on the Ayrshire side. The 'fingers' of the Awful Hand to either side are Shalloch on Minnoch to the north, the northernmost finger, and Kirriereoch Hill to the south, its summit on the county border.
The mountain reaches 2,287 feet above sea level, which makes it the shortest of the fingers of the range.
