"Drove Loan" appears to cross these hills on Johnston's County Map.
From enquiry on the ground it has been ascertained that this road is undefinable at the present time, it was the route formerly used by Drovers when returning to the South with cattle from Falkirk Tryst. It sometimes strikes on other roads, it is also frequently intercepted by cultivated patches and where its route lies across moors it is not distinguished from the surrounding heather.
