Westmuir Loop
All Abilities;Moderate;Town/Culture Route;Nature/Country route

Westmuir is a village in its own right about a mile to the west of Kirriemuir.  The village sprang up in the 19th century to provide housing for linen workers from Kirriemuir.  It has its own network of paths, but there are two links connecting with Kirriemuir.  One starts beside Webster's High School and follows Clova Road to Lindsay Street.  Once you cross this, follow the signs between the houses until the path widens out onto the fields.  The path meets a farm track where you turn left down the hill.  At the foot turn right and follow the track past Plovermuir Farm and on into Westmuir.

To complete the loop, turn right up Low Road, at the sign, and cross the A926 at the shop.   The visitors have created their own community woodland just west of the village.  It is worth a detour to look at their work and you can continue out onto the public road to Kinnordy Loch.  Alternatively, continue up Eastgate to the top of the hill, turn left for about 400 yards, then right and follow the public road to the sign for Herdhillmuir Farm.  Follow back to Kirriemuir.
