02 The picture above was taken from the top of Dun Law. The red asterisk shows the location of the Bastle House. The remains of the Fermtoun buildings lie just to the right of it. The green asterisk shows where the visitors car park is and the blue asterisk shows where the River Clyde is born from the merging of the Daer and Potrail Waters.
There are plenty of information boards around the Bastle and Fermtoun Trail with excellent information on them. However as you can see in the picture below these boards are weathering badly. The picture does give you a good idea what the place would have looked like around 1600 AD.
The third picture lets you see what the bastle looks like now.
