A Roman road from Belstane to Castlecary was though to have traversed the moors around Bracco (NS 82 65).
It is recorded that in repairing the sluices of the reservoir at Lilly Loch (NS 8214 6657) the remains of an ancient causeway were found.
The Roman route is then thought to have skirted the W end of Hillend Loch (NS 8348 6758), and then to have passed over the moorland wastes about Longriggend (NS 8215 7009 see map sheet NS87SW)
