Hiked the Corrie next to the Corrie of Balglass up. The strating point is basically the same as to the Corrie of Balglass, but I stayed basically to the very end on the forestry road (really muddy, even after 4 days no rain!)

I just took the biggest ridge up to the top of the Balglass Burn. From the top of the ridge you get a good view of the 3 burns which are running down the Campsie and forming the Balglass Burn as well as Earl's Seat.

I returned the trip with following the ridge to the east and then just descending next to the fence.

I also did a Video memory of my trip:
