Strange that such a pleasant walk exists so close to home. Though I’m not sure I could find where we went on a map.
From memory the route goes from Glenmidge, down towards Hallidayhill but taking a right fork up the side of the hill then looping round past the ruins of Upper Hallidayhill. The path then heads down Lag Hill, through a forest and back out onto meadows with the remains of Lagg Tower on our right.
We then turned left along the road for about a kilometre and followed a path to a farm at Dempsterton. Here we went off piste and tramped across a field then climbed an old rusty gate to follow a faint path between a wall and a burn. this eventually led us to a minor road where we turned left.
Here my memory and the map differ. I’m pretty sure we turned left off the road and walked past Drum farm, but I may just be recalling the sign for the farm. This turned into a concrete road back to Lagg Cottage, where we went right. The final section was a round of Kirkbride Hill, where we had to negotiate our way around a cow blocking the path.
I think that was the route.
