Start : Kirkton village. Grid ref. NO 42133 46655
(S/E) There is only one residential street in Kirkton. Starting here, walk South down past the row of cottages to the end of the street where there is a bridge over the Kerbet Water.
(1) Follow the track, keeping right (South) at a fork.
The track zig zags its way uphill.
(2) Shortly after passing Mains of Foffarty turn right (West).
(3) You will reach a cottage called Wester Foffarty where you should turn left (South) onto a minor road.
(4) Turn left again at the top of the road and continue along this quiet, pleasant road. From this elevated position there are lovely views across the fields and over to the hills of the Cairngorms.
(5) After approx 1.6km, turn left (North) down past West Mains.
The road zig zags its way downhill to cross the Kerbet Water at Carterhaugh Cottage and leads you out onto B9127 at Mains of Kinnettles.
(6) Cross the B9127 and turn left (North-West) to walk along this road for just over half a mile. Take care as this is a national speed limit area and there is no pavement (though there is a fairly good grass verge).
(7) Shortly after passing Kinnettles Castle high up to your right, look out for a left turn onto a gravel track. This takes you down to the fully-restored Kinnettles Mill (private residence) and across a footbridge.
Turn right (North) after crossing the bridge (you are at waypoint (1)), and retrace your steps back to Kirkton (S/E)
