The Ring of Fire, as described on gofar, is a 24-hour, 45-mile/13,000ft round of the Galloway hills devised by Andy Priestman, first achieved by Glyn Jones in c.22 hours in 1990 and reduced to 14 hours 44 minutes again by Glyn six years later. It takes in 30 summits including 21 Donalds, and tops out at 2,766ft on the Merrick.

The fastest known time is 14 hours 6 minutes by Jonny Muir on 14th July 2018, as described briefly in a Carnethy HRC news report and more fully in Jonny's blog.
