A cache located in the peaceful Glen Artney. The route on the north bank of the river covers a wide variety of terrain.The glen is a haven for wildlife. We hope you are lucky enough to see some of the many red deer which are present in this glen.
The Red Deer is one of the largest deer species and can be found across most of Europe, and in other parts of the world too. The meat of a red deer, venison, is widely used as a food source to the extent that red deer farming now exists.
In Scotland, there is a healthy red deer population. Figures vary, but there are estimated to be between 500,000 - 750,000 red deer in Scotland. Although red deer traditionally lived in forests, they have adapted their habitat and behaviour in Scotland as the forests declined. They are now found mostly in glens and on mountains across the Highlands, Islands and Lowlands of Scotland.
The 7 mile route starts/finishes from the parking at Dalrannoch (opposite Cultybraggan camp) and the parking at Glen Artney Church.
The bridge over the Ruchill here offers an escape route to the Glen Artney road or alternative start & finish points
