Tillicoultry Glen is unmistakable in its location above Tillicoultry village as the path borders a large quarry that supplied surfacing for paths and roads.
The fast flowing water of Tillicoultry burn once powered eight textile mills using a dam and lade (water channel) system. The remains of burn side sluices and the old wooden dam can still be seen.
the path rises up in a series of steps, through woodland onto an open hillside, then descends down into the deep valley, where Daiglen Water meets Gannel Burn with a waterfall in view. The mountain straight above is called The Law and has a path to the summit.
At the top of Tillicoultry Glen to the West of the burn there once stood a Pictish Fort. It is said that the stones of the Fortress were taken 9 miles to be added to Stirling Castle.
In spring listen out for woodpeckers as they try to attract a mate. The great spotted woodpecker makes a drumming sound on a dead tree trunk and the green woodpecker's laughing call gives it its country name "yaffle". The dipper looks for tiny creatures, such as stone-fly larvae, on the bottom of the burn.
