Rough pasture and conifers above Glake Although the online map shows the area as solid conifer cover, there is in fact this roughly rectangular open field, almost hidden within the trees, as shown on Google photographs.

The Glake Stane The Glake Stane is a cup marked standing stone, possibly dating back to 2000BC, in a very prominent position looking west down the Stinchar valley to the Hill of Knockdolian and the sea. The old march walls of several farms in the valley almost converge at the stone. This view of the Glake Stane is looking east towards the Galloway hills in the distance.
