Meikle Millyea (Scottish Gaelic: Meall Liath Mòr) is a hill in the Rhinns of Kells, a sub-range of the Galloway Hills range, part of the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The true summit of the hill has been disputed over the years; a 2015 survey concluded that the southwest top, around 400 m southwest from the trig point and cairn is approximately 2 m higher.[5]
