The auld cley road
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.

Auld cley road
This is a modern path which follows an old parish/Roman road, leading towards Cumbernauld community park, further along this road, the original track is more evident. It is recorded as Roman and Drovers...via Flavii. On this road is the Carrickstone which is said to be the meeting place of Robert the Bruce. A good view of the surrounding valleys is evident further on.

Auld cley road, Carrickstone, Cumbernauld, beginning of evident hedgerow on both sides, unmodernised
This shows the old road beside modern Cumbernauld primary school, which is unmodernised. Damson trees and Hawthorn dominate, whose ancestors may have been planted by the Romans. The Romans often used Damsons to flavour their wine.

Carrickstone water tower
Until recently Carrickstone was a hilltop farm, the trigpoint in a hedge at the side of a lane. Now it has been swallowed up by new housing in Cumbernauld. The water tower is a hilltop landmark.

The Carrick Stone
Allegedly a Roman altar. It certainly looks as if it could have been part of a bigger object. The long since demolished Carrickstone farm and the present surrounding suburb is named after the stone.
