Old milestone Just west of the traffic island on the A91 at Logie Kirk is a milestone. Searched for in autumn 2021 but not found. But there it is, just visible before the Spring growth in April 2022. Logie Kirk is behind the trees bordering the field.

Compare with the much older photo <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6047616">NS8196 : Old Milestone by the A91, Logie Kirk, Logie Parish</a>. It is adjacent to a Telephone cover in the path. For benchmark enthusiasts a pin and benchmark can just be made out at the top of the bevel. It may once have had Dollar 9½ painted on the left-hand side and Stirling 3 on the right.

Faint path on the southern side of Dumyat As an alternative to the short walk up Dumyat from the Sheriffmuir road, the hill can be climbed from close to sea level at the foot of its southern slopes. A path can be followed from the Blairlogie car park steeply through woods and then through this area, passing through an old gate, and eventually on to the main path on the crest of the hill.
