Path near Greenland Farm
This photo follows on from NS4375 : Path near Greenland Farm, and shows a long, straight, downhill section of the path. For a view back up this part of it, see NS4375 : Path near Greenland Farm.

The Milton Burn flows almost parallel to the path, off to the right; it can be seen in another view back along this section of the path: NS4375 : Burn beside footpath.

Directly ahead, along the line of the path, Dumbuck Hill (NS4274 : Dumbuck Quarry) can be seen in the distance, with the double-peaked Dumbowie Hill (see NS4275 : Dumbuie Dun) to its right. Between them, Dumbarton Rock is partially visible on the near shore of the River Clyde.

For the next section of the path, see NS4375 : Path alongside Middleton Wood.
Path near Greenland Farm

The area near Greenland Farm had been the subject of protracted negotiations to secure public land access, as specified by the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003. The situation was resolved by the creation of a path, bounded by two fences, for the use of pedestrians and cyclists; it now forms part of the Crags Circular Path, a much longer route.
