NS3681 : Entering the woods
taken 18 years ago, 3 km from Balloch, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland
Entering the woods
The feel of this track changed dramatically when all of the trees on the right-hand side were cut down a couple of years later; compare the appearance of the same section of track in 2009: NS3681 : Gate on the Stoneymollan Road footpath (the present photo was taken from just beyond that gate).
The Stoneymollan Road
This route from Balloch to the clachan of Kirkton was an old coffin road (see Link
for more details); its destination was the burial ground at St Mahew's Chapel – Link – near Cardross. The eastern part of this old road lies upon one of several parallel ridges; the underlying geology must therefore have played an important role in determining its course.
