Of the two paths visible ahead, the 1:25000 map shows one, and larger-scale mapping shows both. The waymarker posts were added a few days before this picture was taken.

This post has markers for three trails (red, orange, blue); there is also a yellow trail. Information boards near Overtoun House list the walks, and show them on a map:

BLUE: "Fish pond trail". YELLOW: "Spardie Linn stroll". ORANGE: "Woodland wander". RED: "Round Wood Hill hike".

Locally, the woodland walks within the Overtoun Estate are still collectively known as "the Nature Trail", in memory of the fact that they used to be laid out as a nature trail with numbered marker posts (the Nature Trail, made with funds left over from the Quality of Life Experiment, officially opened on the 26th of April 1980). New waymarkers were added, both here and in the adjacent Lang Craigs Woodland ( Link ), in May 2015. For more on the Nature Trail, see Overtoun House: Link
