Ballinreich to Glenduckie

Route Points: Ballinbreich, Coastal Path Junction, Glenduckie

Route Access:

Coastal Path Junction: New Coastal path route crosses on the hill top.
Glenduckie: On road to Glenduckie find Scotways Fingerpost to Ballinbreich.

Description:
From Ballinbreich climb relentlessly up past wood access on hairpin and through curtilage of house, here a small Scotways marker points you on a quagmire of a path into the field.
Path is clear through here and eventually comes to a junction with the coastal path. THis can be used to get to Newburgh via Old Higham (go west) or for another route down to Glenduckie (go east).
Follow the track along the field edge and it turns into a rough farm track for a fast descent into the village.

From Glenduckie you can either climb Glenduckie Hill, pick up a Right of way to Newburgh or follow the Right of way to Ayton and split off on the Coastal path up Norman's Law.
