Starting at Kippen, situated between the Gargunnock Hills and the Fintry Hills, overlooking the Carse of Forth, this walk follows the old road from Kippen to Gargunnock, returning via a pleasant tree lined route.

Known as a military road, this route between Stirling and Dumbarton had been in use long before the Jacobite uprisings which prompted the road network. After the Jacobite threat was waning the road was handed over to the local county in 1790.
