My Dad can remember going there with his father to pick up a few hill cows many years ago in a Landrover and trailer, he said it was the worst journey there that he can remember due to a very old road with lots of very dodgy bits that looked unpassable! Where was the road into it? would it be out a hill road in the Kirkconnel area or out past the Lethens at New Cumnock? (Shona Stevenson on Facebook)
