Meikle Millyea is a mountain of 1,896 feet which is part of the ridge of the Rhinns of Kells in Kirkcudbrightshire. Little Millyea stands at the southern end of the great ridge that forms Rhinns, a little southwest of Meikle Millyea (2,446 feet). South of Little Millyea at the foot of the hill the Black Water of Dee curves round to join the Clatteringshaws Loch.

Darrou

Darrou is a subsidiary peak southwest of the main summit of Little Millyea, and which climbs to 1,572 feet above sea level. It is a smooth top, barely rising above the slope on the descent from the main summit but a notable protrusion between the woods to north and south, and from Darrou the slope falls steeply to the Dee. It stands about halfway between Loch Dee and Clatteringshaws Loch.
