This photograph is a view from the start of the path that can be seen, between two hedges, in Image In the present view, only the nearer part of the path (the first 30 metres or so) is in the same grid square as the photographer. This short path leads from Cardross Road to Hawthornhill Road, but it is part of a longer route, a core path, from Hawthornhill to Dalmoak. This hedge-lined path was originally a track leading from Cardross Road to Hawthornhill Farm. The farm itself is long gone, but the buildings were just to the right of the far end of this path, on the top of the grassy slope that can be seen there; see Image for the site itself. Ahead, just to the right of the far end of the path, is Image As that photo makes clear, there are a few narrow gaps between the buildings of Perray Avenue; these divide the row of houses into four sections. Without familiarity with the area, it is not at all clear where to go after ascending this path between the two hedges. However, the easiest way to continue along the core path to Dalmoak is to go through the narrow gap between the first and second sections (reckoning from the leftmost/western end) of Perray Avenue, emerging at the point shown in Image
