The first point of interest on our walk was Dalmoak House
Built in a Scottish baronial style by the architect Alexander Watt in 1866–69, for John Aiken of Glasgow. Aiken's involvement in the wine and spirits mercantile trade was the basis for the house's nickname, 'Brandy Castle', which has been in use ever since.
We had our first refreshment break on the farmland above Dalmoak House
Our group clustered around the triangulation pillar on Carman Muir
