Reflections in the Campsie Fells

A walk in the Campsie Fells, just over 6 miles long, starting in Lennoxtown and ending at Clachan of Campsie. From Lennoxtown we pick up a footpath that runs just south of Bencloich Farm. At Stafford Cottage, near Glorat House, we head left up a track, passing Maiden Castle Motte & Bailey, and pick up a hill-track just before Garmore farm. Before heading up into the Campsie Fells we re-examine the Early Iron Age hillfort, Meikle Reive, and put forward the theory that this hillfort was at one time a much larger settlement than previously thought. We then head uphill on a good wide track by Knockybuckle and on to a cairn where we stop for a rest and give advice on the importance of using a map and compass. The path in the hills that leads down to Clachan of Campsie passes above Sloughmuclock and by Crichton's Cairn, before taking us through Campsie Glen and into Clachan of Campsie.
