Log Text: The easiest way to access Stellhead Cairns is via the SUW path at Stroanpatrick. Head NW to the ruined settlement at Kiln Knowe. Head E across mooland for c. 0.65 miles to reach the Stellhead Cairns. A GPS device is necessary to locate the cairns because they are blended into the landscape. My route can be viewed on Stellhead Cairns.

Stalldon Row submitted by thecaptain on 22nd Sep 2006. The northern end of the row has 4 wonderful large (2 metres plus) stones still standing, which can be seen from miles away all over the southern moor, and look in many ways like walkers on the hilltop.
Seen here looking to the north, the wild moorland stretches off into the distance.

Log Text: 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.
