After following the edge of the woods, as shown at NS4375 : Path alongside Middleton Wood, the footpath is, at this point, once again in the open.

NS4374 : Sheephill Quarry is located just on the far side of the hillside that is visible on the skyline; see NS4374 : Warning behind Craigunnock Stone Quarry. A road leading to Greenland Farm and Riggangower Quarry Landfill Site runs, unseen, from left to right across the photo, in a dip between the fields in the foreground and the hillside in the background.

Not far ahead is the southern end of this fenced footpath: NS4374 : Path near Greenland Farm.
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.
