Alexandria
This is part of an old coffin road that people would have used to carry their dead from the Balloch area at the foot of Loch Lomond to be buried in St. Mahew's Chapel near the Village of Cardross. At nearly 7km long it is quite a distance to carry a heavy load and often coffin rests were found along the way, which were flat or raised stones for resting the coffin on. At these points the carriers could also take a rest. The path is now part of the 130mile "John Muir Way" stretching from Helensburgh in the West to Dunbar in the East.
