We mirrored the WHs route on this walk out of Falkland to the monument for this ridiculously-named fellow - which shows there's more to the Lomond Hills than the two East and West summits. Navigation is fairly straightforward, though there are quite a few path junctions. A highlight was the variety of birdlife, including a treecreeper, buzzard up close, bullfinches...

Through Maspie Den near the start:
