The path enters the Fowler's Croft Development which in 1984 merited an architectural design award by the Association for the Protection of Rural Scotland. Outside the first cottage is a plaque to commemorate this event.

As you go past Largs Farm spare a thought for Straiton's covenanting martyr Thomas McHaffie whose home it was. He was shot, after a brief trial, by the dragoons while attempting to escape in 1686. A memorial stands a few yards from the west door of the church. "Tho' I was sick and like to die, Yet bloody Bruce did murder me, Because I adhered in my station, To our Covenanted Reformation". Bruce was the name of the officer who had him executed.

In the Lambdoughty Glen stands a marvellous variety of trees - hardwoods, conifers and recently planted oak. The largest waterfall (30ft high) is known as the Rossetti Linn because the celebrated poet and painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828 - 82) was once thought to be contemplating suicide there. William Bell Scott painter, academic, friend and biographer of the Pre-Raphaelites tells the frightening story of their visit to the falls.

At whatever season you may visit the glen it is never lacking in interest whether you are here for the exercise or perhaps for quiet reflection. Lady Hunter Blair's walk is a pleasure to know at any time of the year.
