Queensberry is a hill at the southern end of the Lowther Hills in Dumfriesshire. It reaches 2,287 feet at its summit. The secondary summit, Wee Queensberry to the south is at 1,680 feet.
On the eastern and southern slopes of Queensberry spreads the Forest of Ae, one of the largest planted forests in the land, and from its slopes run numerous burns which swell the Water of Ae, and whose own source is at the Pot of Ae close to the summit.
