The Crow Road from Gonachan Cottage offers a gentler approach to this iconic Scottish climb, averaging 4–5% over around 5 km with occasional ramps up to 8%. The road surface is smooth and wide, rising steadily through open moorland with far-reaching views as you gain height. The gradient allows you to find a rhythm early and hold it, making it ideal for steady tempo riding. Wind can still be a factor, especially near the summit, so keep your effort measured. It’s a scenic, satisfying climb that rewards pacing and persistence.

Historically part of Perthshire, the village is in the civil parish of Kincardine and the church parish of Norrieston (separated ecclesisistically from Kincardine in 1877), named from the much earlier village of Norrieston, which lay a little to the east of Thornhill. It is situated on a slight elevation at the western edge of the Carse of Stirling, an area of flat agricultural land which forms the upper part of the floodplain of the River Forth. Much of the land within the Carse was bogland until the late 18th century when concerted efforts were made to clear away the peat and expose the fertile clay soil below. Flanders Moss, the largest remaining area of lowland bog in Scotland and a site of special scientific interest, lies to the south west.
