From Montrose Sports Centre, follow Path Network Signage NW under the A92 Bridge through Borrowfield until the barriers. Turn left onto Newhame Road, passing the school and then turn right and go under the rail bridge via a metal walkway.

Follow this farm road until Dubton Cottages and turn left along the road. After around 500m turn uphill past West Mains of Hedderwick to the road junction at Hillhead of Hedderwick. Turn right onto the main road then after 250m turn left into Rosemount Estate. The estate has some new paths and some small downhill sections can be found.

Emerge out of the estate at grid 702613. From here head down into the Hillside village. Cross the main A937 passing the Hillside Hotel and follow this road out past the old distillery. Take a right towards Charleton Fruit Farm following the track through the farm and coming out onto the A92.

Directly opposite the exit from the Fruit Farm is a cycle path. Cross the road carefully to join it and follow it left up to the viaduct.

Once you have reached the viaduct, take in the views and turn around to come back the way you came, following the cycle route which is well defined and marked. This route follows the old railway line before emerging at the Aerodrome.

Continue on this route past the BMX track, re-joining the signposted Path Network back to the start.
