Ye'll walk up the station road, and take the second turn on your left, a wee grass road that'll bring ye to the ford at the herd's hoose.

Cross the Laver--there's a plank bridge--and take straight across the moor in the direction of the peakit hill they call Grey Carrick.

Ye'll come to a big burn, which ye must follow till ye get to the shore.

Then turn south, keepin' the water's edge till ye reach the Laver, where you'll find one o' us to show ye the rest of the road....

I must be off now, and I advise ye not to be slow of startin', for wi' this rain the water's risin' quick.
