Having crossed the field, the path leads onto another track next to a hedge. Stay on this until you reach a cattle-grid, and the foundations of Dreghorn Mains, a ruined farm, is on your left. The farm is about 1km from the gate and previous sign to Dreghorn. A SRWS sign at the cattle-grid points your return to Dreghorn car park, passing the farm buildings and going through a small wooden gate, with the traffic on the bypass tearing by.

WALK 4

Three reservoirs

Start/Finish Bonaly upper car park (NT211675) Distance 9km Total Ascent 214m Time 2hr 30min Maps Ordnance Survey Landranger 66 or Ordnance Survey Explorer 344

A hill walk taking in three reservoirs. The going is generally easy, and there is a good mix of cultural heritage and wildlife to enjoy along the way. (It is possible to lengthen this route by walking to Harlaw and completing a circuit of the reservoir (Walk 6).)

1 Start at Bonaly upper car park, beyond the scout camp on Bonaly Road.

Note Alternative parking is available just beyond the bridge over the A720, and this is preferable in winter, when the narrow road can be icy and it is difficult to manoeuvre a vehicle. The route from the alternative parking passes Bonaly Tower, an integral part of the cultural heritage of the area.
