Old track on Carman Muir

The first-edition OS map (surveyed 1860) shows a 550-metre-long track through woodland. It started at NS37147823, headed WSW to NS36997821, west to NS36827823, and finally NW to NS36647837. By 1897, the area was no longer wooded. By 1939, the track itself no longer appeared on maps. The area was again planted with trees in 2014, at which time the course of the old track could still be discerned on the ground, though only faintly; the new plantation would soon swallow it up. See Link

for an annotated satellite map showing the track.
