Overview

Beautiful pastoral walk starting at Blanefield, near military monument. Takes us along part of the West Highland Way, edging along Killearn and back by the pipe track. Two hours in, stop at Turnip the Beet where you can either buy some lunch or eat your own outside. Continue on to Killearn and stop for a break. Then complete the walk. Will take approx 6 hours if we keep a good pace.
