Overview

A pleasant walk up to the Covenanters Grave which will include a bit of history about the covenanters. The walk starts from Garvald and goes up to the grave via Easton. Apart from the spur to the grave, this is a circular walk, returning to Garvald via Medwynhead.

There are excellent views from the grave, all the way to the Ayrshire coast.
