 |
| This is Haggis Hill. |
Todays walk saw 36 ramblers arrive in the pretty South Ayrshire village of Barr for a circular 7 mile walk. Todays number we believe was a record turnout for this group it must have been the walk leaders charm and charisma that attracted this number. We left the village and had a gentle climb up towards Changue Forest. From there we went through the forest and made our way down to a bridge over the river. From there it was a gentle climb to reach Kirsties Cairn which was our lunch stop. The walk leader explained that Kirstie as he was known was a shepherd who back in 1920 had perished in the snow and the cairn was a memorial erected by his friends.We then went back through the forest and down a slippy path to get back to the car park. Another excellent walk in good company in the winter sunshine.
