Weavers' Trail
'The Heritage Paths Project has received reports that the section of the route between Myres Hill and High Overmuir is unclear, in part because of the windfarm infrastructure en route. We are in touch with the Councils' access teams and it is our understanding that it is intended that the route be improved and sign-posted. However, landowner negotiations and forestry operations can result in a time-consuming process. Nevertheless, it remains our hope that work will commence on the Trail this year. In the meantime, we would be very grateful for a survey from anyone who walks the route ...' [19 September 2014]

Overview
'The Irvine Valley towns of Darvel and Newmilns were, until recently, world famous in the manufacture of lace products ... Before the factory system was introduced with the advent of the power loom in 1872, lace was produced on handlooms in hundreds of cottages in the Valley. The handloom weavers in the days of this domestic system of manufacture then walked over the moor with their rolls of cloth to sell them in the markets of Paisley and Glasgow - hence the name The Weavers' Trail.'
