Overview

There will be time to explore the old church & graveyard at the beginning of the walk. We will then make our way up Kirkton Glen, taking the detour (optional) to visit Creag an Tuirc, a fabulous viewpoint overlooking Loch Voil. Continuing up the glen, we pass Rob Roy's Puttin' Stane and will go as far as the beautiful Lochan an Eireannaich before returning down the glen.
