NS 5321 7250 to NS 5334 7244 The published course (OS 50 inch 1965) was resurveyed in accordance with detail on the 2nd edition of the OS 2 and a half inch map. A sharp directional change to the NW is dictated by the contours but it is probable, as indicated on the above survey, that the angle of the turn was lessoned by a short straight. This may have been necessary in view of the steep drop immediately to the S, but the theme appears to have occurred elsewhere on the line (e.g. W of Castelcarry).
