We are the Cunninghame Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

We head up Fairlie Glen admiring the waterfalls and old woods, past the castle then onto Fairlie Moor, heading east then crossing Fairlie Burn at Lairdside Hill where we will take a break. We then head west and follow grouse butts to the trig point on Kaim Hill. There are no paths and a lot of heather here so it feels nicely wild and a little bit challenging - great rewards for a local hill walk in the winter. We go over the top of Kaim Hill, descending on Whiteside Hill to our lunch stop by the Glenburn Waterfall. Our return path follows the contours of Black Hill to Diamond Hill then down a track, returning to Fairlie shore and rail station.
This walk is mainly on open ground with heather, long grass and mud so gaiters and poles are recommended; good boots essential.
Morrison's Supermarket - parking in the corner nearest the big roundabout on the A78 bypass.
Fairlie Pier car park, off the A78. As you enter Fairlie from the south, it is first left marked as a picnic spot, just after Southannan Road which is on the right. Alternatively, if travelling by train to Fairlie Station, the walk will come by the station five minutes after we start.
