Purportedly the location that Prophet Peden, famed Covenanter gave illicit sermons to the people of Ayrshire. Alexander Peden was a minister in the 17th century who, along with many others joined the cause of the Covenanters (see the Covenanters Highlight also on this route). He was one of the most famous of the Field Preacher's of the time, and wandered the hillsides of southern Scotland preaching to the masses. He was almost captured many times and took to wearing a cloth mask to hide his identity, which is now on display in Edinburgh's Museum of Scotland. However, in June 1673 he was captured and sentenced to transportation to America. The captain of the chartered ship discovered the reason for his transportation and set him free. Peden returned to Scotland and continued to preach until his death from ill health in 1686.

This pin marks the highest point on Shalloch on Minnoch but there is also a trig pillar and shelter north-west of this cairn. If you hike to this mountain from the North Top in march, be sure you don't trample any frogs along the way! There are hundreds breeding here in early spring.

Less than 20 years after Burns’ death, a committee of his strongest supporters were busy making plans to memorialise the man. The result is this 70-foot high Grecian-style temple, designed by Sir Thomas Hamilton, complete with nine pillars representing muses from Greek mythology. The monument was funded by subscriptions and finished in 1823. There is no admission fee for the monument and gardens, but we still raise funds today to help conserve this mighty memorial for everyone to enjoy. Opening times Open daily from 10am -5pm We are closed from 12.30pm on 24 December 2017, reopening at 10am on 4 January 2018.
