From Auchineden Farm (Edenmill) via John Muir Way to Burncrooks Reservoir. Then up through forest. After leaving forest path becomes very wet underfoot (a lot of rain recently). Up to summit of Duncolm. Return via Lily Loch and back to John Muir Way. Walked around north side of Burncrooks, then took path over moorland to the Whangie. Up to Auchinden Hill after the Whangie and then a different path back to John Muir Way and Auchineden.Fife Walking13/08/2023
