The famous, the wealthy and the notorious are always remembered and history generally overlooks the poor and the ordinary, so it is pleasing to have a memorial to a poor woman, whose life was typical, unremarkable, and yet unique.

Directions sign, Canderside Toll B7078 (ex A74)

Looking north on this old section, you're pretty high up and can see right across the Clyde Valley to the Campsie Fells in the far distance, and on a good day like this, Ben Lomond is visible a bit further to the left.
