Fyrish Monument

(S/E) From Fyrish Jubilee Car Park, follow the Fyrish Jubilee Path – signposted from the South East corner of the parking area.

(1) Continue ahead (South West) at a crossroads 550m along.

(2) After a further 150m cross a small burn.

(3) 500m further along, at another crossroads, turn right (West) to come off the Jubilee Path.

Ignore a path on the left after 240m. Continue South West.

(4) Soon the trail leaves the forest behind and emerges onto open hillside, gradually winding uphill to reveal Fyrish Monument.

From the monument the descent path heads North West. It is a wide loose gravel trail and quite hard going at times.

(5) On arriving at an area of forestry the path forks. Turn right (North) onto a much narrower and boggier trail through the trees.

Continue on this path for 3km to a crossroads (1), keeping right at 4 forks along the way.

At the crossroads (1) turn left (North) - you are now back on the Jubilee Path.

The Fyrish Jubilee Car Park is only 550m down the track (S/E)
