[1] Go westerly up Main Street for 200m, to just pass Belton Cottage and turn right down the lane. This leads to a field: exit via the field gate to reach the public road and turn left. Leave this after 400m, passing The Bield Farm on the left. Reach a T junction and turn right downhill for 150m and take the path on the left. This passes Watson House (A) to the left. Continue on the path when it turns left uphill, to reach a track.

(A)Watson House, originally known as New Leckie, is picturesquely situated on the east side of the glen of Leckie Burn. It is a large and elegant country house built circa 1830 by the architect David Hamilton, for the Moir family, who then owned the surrounding estate of about 3000 acres.

[2] Turn right and cross the bridge ahead, then take the path to the left down to the Leckie Burn and follow this past another bridge, then a derelict mill to reach a track. Turn left and soon reach a tarmac road. Turn left, cross the bridge, then take the path to the right through a gate. Follow this path and cross a pretty stone bridge. From here follow a rough track downhill for about 100m to find the remains of a broch (B) amongst rhododendrons. Return to the path and follow it uphill until it levels out and the veers right to pass a pond.

(B)Brochs combine features of fort, fortified house, and status symbol, and could feasibly have served several different purposes in different places and at different times. This broch is about 2,000 years old. They are common in northern Scotland but rare in the Lowlands.

[3] Visit the pond then return to the path as it goes anticlockwise round the pond, and soon reach the partially stoned track and keep on this as it first rises then slowly descends, with fine views over the Forth Valley. The track reaches a tarmac driveway at Leckie House. Keep straight on to gain the public road below. Turn right, then when the road bends left, go straight ahead on the path between the fields to reach the village. Upon reaching a road go straight ahead on the path to reach another road. Turn left here, then first right to reach a playing field. Exit via the gate opposite to reach another road. Go left to return to Main Street.
