Path beside the Overtoun Burn
The path shown in NS4377 : Path leading to the Overtoun Burn and NS4377 : Path leading to the Overtoun Burn turns right just before reaching the burn, and runs parallel to it, as shown here.

The long rock outcrop visible high up on the other side of the Overtoun Burn is Black Craig.
Black Craig

A prominent outcrop, about 150 metres in length, of dark reddish-grey sandstone, situated at the top of a steep slope on the northern side of the glen of the Overtoun Burn. The outcrop is named "Black Craig" on an early-nineteenth-century "Plan of Dumbarton Muir", which was one of the authorities for the names on the earliest OS maps of this area.

Lang Craigs Woodland

The woodland occupies 240 hectares (590 acres) that were acquired by the Woodland Trust Scotland in 2011. It is named after the Long Crags (or Lang Craigs), a line of cliffs — Link — making up the facade of the Kilpatrick Hills plateau. Lang Craigs Woodland is one of the 13 Commonwealth Woods, and is an SSSI (Site of Special Scientific Interest). New paths have been laid out (waymarkers were added in May 2015), and about 160 hectares of new native woodland planted.
