The River Ayr Way starts near Glenbuck Loch in the woods just to the left of this area.
There's also a fishing hut (private to an angling club) and a wildlife hide which is in fine condition and is freely available for use. Both are accessible on foot but the paths are a bit rough.
The walk opened in 2006, follows the course of the River Ayr and is forty-four miles long. The marker is a rectangular wooden box coated with sand on the outside to represent the coast at Ayr at the other end of the walk.
It's in pretty poor condition and can be accessed easily (mainly uphill on tarmac) on foot from the first turn on the right of the road into Glenbuck Heritage Village.
The last photo is of the corresponding marker at Ayr harbour but it was coated in coal dust to represent that end of the long distance walk.
