Start of the route to the Fereneze Braes in Barrhead This rather inauspicious spot between 2 houses is the start of an excellent walk over the Fereneze Braes. It is worth noting that though there are clearly defined paths on the Fereneze Braes, they rarely correspond to paths marked on the OS map. However the routes are so well signposted that a map is really not required. At the start you have to squeeze through a small gap in parallel fences. There are a few more like this on the walk. This is clearly designed to make it very difficult to take even a bike - a good idea.
