NS4683 : The John Muir Way at Cameron Muir

taken 8 years ago, 3 km from Caldarvan, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

The John Muir Way at Cameron Muir
The John Muir Way at Cameron Muir
A marker on a gatepost beside the path shows that the John Muir Way makes a right turn here, to head south, passing through a gate that is out of shot to the right, but which is shown, from the other side, in NS4683 : Gate on the John Muir Way, where the same turning in the path can be seen.

The route that carries on straight ahead (east) is a NS4683 : Track across Cameron Muir; the end-note refers to that route, which is distinct from the John Muir Way.

The Campsie Hills are in the background, left of centre, and the more distant Fintry Hills are at the far left.

Sometime after this picture was taken, a signpost was put up here at the turning: see NS4683 : Signpost on the John Muir Way, taken in 2020.
Track across Cameron Muir :: NS4783

The track begins at Wester Cameron (NS4583), heads east across open moorland, and ends at the point where it meets the main road at Finnich Toll (NS4984). It forms part of walk number 5 in "The Campsie Fells & Kilpatrick Hills – a map/guide to eight easy to follow walks", which mentions that cattle drovers "used the track over Cameron Muir on their way to the market, or tryst, at Falkirk" in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries.
