Burnside trails, gentle waterfalls, and a climb to lonely Urie Loch

Spend some time exploring the burnside trails and bridges of Dyemill's native woodland. You can also climb through the conifers to Urie Loch. This is where hen harriers fly low over the heather moorland.

People of the past have left traces all through this forest, from old shielings and the ruins of Lagaville to the well-known Meallach's Grave, a prehistoric, chambered cairn.
