03 As we start to climb Coupland Gair we get the above view back to the bastle and the remains of the fermtoun buildings near it. As you can see there is not a great deal left of the bastle house (just left of centre by the wall).
The second picture shows the A702 running across the picture. The visitor's car park is towards the right of the picture (red asterisk) and Glenochar farmhouse is among the trees left of centre. From these trees you can see the Glenochar Burn (which has already run down past the bastle) run forward into the picture to meet two other "waters" coming from the right side of the picture and meeting at the blue asterisk.
The Daer Water is coming in from the top right corner of the picture and the Potrail Water is looping in from the right just beyond the road. As these three conjoined waters run out of the picture on the left they are now called the River Clyde. So this is the humble birthplace of the river which has been so important to the development of the city of Glasgow - at one time the "second city" of the British Empire.
