02 From the car park near Bruce's Stone (OS Ref. NX416804) you carry on walking eastward along the road you have arrived by and this takes you down near the loch and across this bridge over the Buchan Burn. A plaque on one side of the bridge tells you that the road and the bridge were built in 1851 by Randolh 9th Earl of Galloway. The plaque (which has suffered a bit of damage over the years) on the other side of the bridge has this poem -

Land of Brown Heath and Shaggy Wood
Land of the Mountain and the Flood
Land of my Sires! What Mortal Hand
Can e'er Untie the Filial Band
---- to thy Rugged Strand
