The original Castle on this site was built in the 13th century by the Graham family. The Grahams were a family on the rise and the family were made the Earls of Montrose in 1505. The most famous Graham resident of Mugdock Castle was James Graham (1612-1650) known as The Great Montrose. He was a poet and soldier who fought for the cause of King Charles I during the Wars of The Three Kingdoms (more commonly referred to as The English Civil Wars) and was marked as one of the greatest soldiers of the time. So great was his military fame that King Louis XIV offered him the role as Marshal of France. His success ultimately ran out in 1650 with the loss of The Battle of Carbisdale in Rosshire. Montrose was betrayed by a fellow Scotsman and was ultimately Hung, Drawn and Quartered for his part in the war. His campaigns were immortalised by Sir Walter Scott in his 1819 novel A Legend of Montrose.

It's not a lake, it's a loch!

The West Highland Way is known as Scotland's most loved trail. It walks for 96 miles (154km) from Milngavie (south) to Fort William (north). This section is near the start (if you started in Milngavie). It walks through the Mugdock Country Park on the outskirts of Glasgow, heading towards Loch Lomond.

Wildlife-rich lakes set within the country park.

Great coffee in the Spider monkey coffee shop, great food in the Tea Room

Nice picnic spot with a view

The start of the West Highland Way is very urban, and the first section will feel more like a country park. Good paths and signs will lead you out of the town towards Loch Lomond.
