NS4574 : Track North of Kilpatrick Braes

taken 3 years ago, near to Bowling, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Track North of Kilpatrick Braes
Track North of Kilpatrick Braes
This is a very busy track - probably more so when I visited, due to it having been a warm Saturday in June - populated by dog-walkers in their trainers, hill-walkers in their boots, cyclists and quite a few sweaty runners (not to be confused with joggers, of which I saw none).
The OS mapping around here is a bit of a mess. On both scales of their paper maps a track is meant to be marked as a dotted line if unfenced and a solid line if fenced. Obviously this leads to some tracks having a solid line on one side and a dotted one on the other. At this point on the map the track is not only solid on both sides, but there is a line across the track too. Due to the size of the track it seems highly unlikely that anything other than a gate would ever have been here. I was thinking this might be the OS's famous 'one mistake on a map' policy to catch out illegal copycat mapmakers, but it's actually two mistakes, not one, as the right side of the track is clearly unfenced. Plus, the 1:50k scale map depicts the crags on the right whereas, bizarrely, the 1:25k map doesn't mark them at all.
