The track is now part of the John Muir Way. This part of it is called the Boards Farm Road, or Gowk Stane Road. Here at Boards Farm, a short distance beyond the large building shown here, a path branches off to the left, leading to the B821 at Braehead (cottage; see the map): Image In the nineteenth century, the name of the farm was also popularly applied to the surrounding lands: "The lands of Craigallian and Ballochalary, which is the correct name of what is usually called 'The Boards', and about one fourth of the lands of Carbeth, make up the present estate of Craigallian" [J.G.Smith, "The Parish of Strathblane" (1886), page 47].
