01 The route covered in this web gallery is the blue route - done counter-clockwise. The green route is also well worth doing. The difficulty with both these routes is that you have a longish walk in and back to your car from Green Well of Scotland. We have in the past driven right up to the old disused mine but the road from Garryhorn to the mine is very rough for a private car. We have also parked at Garryhorn with permission of the farmer there, but again that is not all that satisfactory - disturbing the farmer to ask for permission.
So it is better to park beside the A713 (Castle Douglas to Ayr road) about one and a half kilometers north of Carsphairn village on a bend just where the road bridges the Water of Deuch (OS Ref. NS557944). For a picture of the parking place see the Cairnsmore of Carsphairn route. There are two walking routes on this site which start from Fore Bush.
The pictures on this web gallery were taken on a walk we did here on the 5th July 2004.
