No view low cloud. With Brian R. Had to walk to the top! | Play2End | 30/05/2016 |
Very good value. Driving from the east, cross the railway and then turn right into Main Street by the Bank of Scotland. Then first left: a big sign mentions the local view point. And there's no need to turn off before the top. Google Street View is currently six years old: since it was filmed, the road up has been well resurfaced. | Pete R | 21/05/2016 |
