The path goes no further
A short path from Barrhead Road leads no further than here, so there is no access to the Capelrig Burn just beyond the scrub. The area appears to have attracted quite a lot of litter.

The Fairweather Hall
The hall is operated by East Renfrewshire Council. It is used by the community for a number of activities including meetings, children’s dance classes and social functions.
