Muddy path round the side of the loch in some places, but overall decent to walk on

Folklore suggests that this stone was cut to hold the standards of the Scottish army that may have fought the Danes here in the 11th century. Unfortunately, this doesn't really make sense - why two holes? why square as the standards would almost certainly have been on round timbers etc. It's more likely that it's the base stone for a medieval stone cross or other standing stone. Maybe a parish marker stone or some estate boundary. It could have also held wooden gallows. Anyway, it's an interesting stop and worthy of a good speculative conversation...

Much of Devilla Forest was once part of the rich Tulliallan Estate with the castle to the west. Some areas of the woods have been planted with what was then considered exotic specimen species like rhododendron trees. These are very pretty, especially when in bloom but do spread and the dense canopy and thick leaves stop any other plants from growing.

Peppermill Dam is an artificial loch built to control the water supply to the paper mill downstream. It's a pretty place to walk on the edge of Devilla Forest.

Part of the Davilla Forest, a good area for some off road fun.

The Standard Stone is unknown in origin but is an interesting artifact, possible a holder for Standard at some Inter-Clan battle or event. It lies amidst the 'Squirrel Trail' in the Davilla forest.

Tulliallan Castle is a large house in Kincardine, Fife, Scotland. It is the second structure to have the name, and is a mixture of Gothic and Italian style architecture set amid some 90 acres (36 ha) of parkland just north of where the Kincardine Bridge spans the Firth of Forth. It is the home of the Scottish Police College and has been since 1954. On 1 April 2013, Tulliallan Castle became the headquarters of Police Scotland (the newly created national police service for Scotland), but as of 2014 the service's headquarters are temporarily relocated to nearby Alloa. It was built in 1812-1820 for George Keith Elphinstone, Admiral Lord Keith one time senior officer of Lord Nelson, from money received from prize ships, by a labour force said to include French prisoners of war. During the Second World War its history took on a further international dimension when it was used by the Polish Armed Forces in the West as their headquarters in Scotland.

Located amongst woodland a half-mile (1 km) north of Kincardine, Old Tulliallan Castle is an unusual 14th century hall-house surrounded by a D-shaped ditch and rampart. It comprises two storeys and a basement, with its principal rooms on the ground floor, modified through later additions and internal alterations. A castle was certainly here by 1304, when Edward I ordered it to be strengthened. Thereafter it became the property of the Douglas family, who granted it to the Edmonstones in 1402. In 1486, Tulliallan passed through marriage to the Blackadders, who were responsible for a major reconstruction. Finally, in 1605, the castle became the property of the Bruces of Carnock and was lived in until 1662. The estate was sold to Admiral Lord Keith in 1798 and he built a new castle a half-mile (1 km) to the southeast in 1820.
