| As
you approach Loch Enoch along the ridge from Buchan Hill the ridge takes
on the name Rig of Enoch. Just before the last high bit on this ridge you
can easily come off to the left, and as you do this you will find the Old
Man of the Merrick jutting his bearded chin out of the face of the rock
(as shown below) some fifty yards to your right. |

From
here you can go down to Loch Enoch before climbing the Redstone Rig or just
head on up the Redstone Rig from the Grey Man as shown above.
You can see further pictures of the location of the Grey Man and follow
the route off the Merrick by Benyellary in the Merrick
Tourist Route web gallery on this website |
