West Highland Way near Gartness
Line of an old railway called the Blane Valley Branch of the North British Railway (Known as the NBR). Apparently this part of the WHW has also incorporated the new John Muir Way, a trans Scotland path named in honour of John Muir of Dunbar who set up America's national parks like Yellowstone.
