Neilston Walk - or the High Line as it's known locally - used to be the line of a mineral railway which hauled coal from pits near the Tak-ma-doon Road down to the canal near Twechar. A reasonably well-maintained footpath is all that remains, and it's pretty well-used by local residents.
This cache is located in what we've always known as the 'Bluebell Woods' - a shaded area containing some lovely mature trees and a couple of wee burns near the end of the High Line. It can be well worth a visit in spring when the bluebells are out, making it a lovely and peaceful spot.
There are plenty of options for accessing this one; the indicated parking area is a layby just off Glasgow Road and is the closest parking spot. Rather than just making it a cache and dash, though, you could think about walking the length of the line and out towards the Colzium Estate - a really good walk on a nice day, with a few good caches en route!
Tree cover means that our GPS reading may be slightly out - we could only get down to about 9 feet accuracy - so if anyone gets a more accurate reading please feel free to include it in your logs and we can update accordingly. Thanks!
