5. Peaceful
The peaceful route continues ahead briefly, before you head right up the grassy bank to reach the side of Threipmuir Reservoir, then cross a short stretch of boggy ground to enter the woods, keeping the water close by on your right. | National World Photo: Kevin Quinn
6. Up the hill
The woods are eventually left behind and the path improves as it continues by the water. Shortly after a causeway across the reservoir, follow the path as it curves left to head through a gate. Follow it uphill into the trees. | National World Photo: Kevin Quinn

8. Back to Harlaw
At another gate, pass through it then dogleg right to the next gate. After a final gate, bear left of the trees to reach a footpath signpost in the wall enclosing Harlaw Reservoir. | National World Photo: Kevin Quinn
