This road has been used for thousands of years and is shown in lots of old maps. It was a vital road which made travelling through Dullatur bogs possible before the marshes were drained. Robert the Bruce supposedly gathered his troops nearby at the Carrickstone. The views of the Clyde valley, Campies and Kilsyth hills are still good and would have been more so before modern housing had been built.
