Cycling on the Merrick
Our view
From the car park at Bruce's Stone head east along the narrow road, across the Buchan Bridge. Continue a short distance to reach a large green sign pointing to the Gairland Burn and Loch Valley. Keep left here, go through a gate then follow a faint footpath to go through another gate in the wall in front of you. Continue uphill on the faint path to go through a gate in the top wall, then turn right onto a path which heads up the valley to the Gairland Burn.
To your left is the ridge of Buchan Hill and to the right is White Brae, and to the far side of that the Rig of the Jarkness. Do not cross the Gairland but keep going on the path to reach Loch Valley, skirting it to the west, and then continue beside the Mid Burn to reach Loch Neldricken.
