Caerketton Hill (Cairn(s)) — Fieldnotes |
| Direction to Caerketton Hill Cairn: I parked at NT 24954 66968, a car park at the Hillend Ski Centre junction with the A702 on the S edge of Edinburgh. A path leading W starts here, before it turns to the SW. This path leads up to an elevated ridge which commands impressive views of Edinburgh. Caerketton Fort and Cairn are accessed by this moderately steep route. My route can be viewed on Caerketton Hill Cairn. |

St Mirren's Well (Sacred Well) — Miscellaneous |
| Directions to St Mirren's Well: Take the Tak-ma-Doon road, signed for Carronbridge, off the A803 Stirling Road in Kilsyth. Follow this narrow road for c. 1.1 miles to park in a lay-by opposite a quarry. Walk c. 120 yards up the road to a gateway. There is a ford c. 5 yards from the gateway so wellies are advised. After crossing the ford head uphill towards a gate into the adjacent field. St Mirren's Well is c. 150 yards W of the gate in a patch of rough grass. |

St Mirren's Well (Sacred Well) — Fieldnotes |
|
Visited 06.10.23 St Mirren's Well is located c. 1 mile N of Kilsyth, in North Lanarkshire. The natural spring has been enclosed in a water tank distributing the water to Colzium according to Canmore ID 45896. A stone slab with 1687 deeply inscribed on the top is exposed on the W corner of the water tank. There is a piped outflow SE of the tank leading down a series of stone steps to a small pool of water. This pool feeds a boggy area around it. This is the new location for St Mirren Well, c. 20 yards SE of the water tank. |
