イーストダンバートンシャーでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Super cafe stop, all day breakfasts, snacks and coffee & cakes!

The ruined remains of Lennox Castle. Originally built in ~1840 as a private property it was sold to The Glasgow Corporation (predecessor to the City Council) in 1927 and turned into a hospital for those with learning difficulties. In the 1940's-60's it also operated as a maternity home, and was the birth place of singer Lulu. It closed in 2002 and unfortunately was subject to a fire in 2008 which left it in its current state.

The final point of the Katrine Aqueducts as the water travels from The Trossachs to Milngavie to serve drinking water to the people of Glasgow. Built in the late 1800's, these reservoirs are a beautiful spot for a walk or cycle with good tracks following the perimeter.

Lovely spot on the river with shingle beach.

Unfortunately everything is fenced off, walled up or otherwise blocked off. But not bad for a walk. Unfortunately, it seems that a bunch of unreasonable people throw their rubbish in the forest there. From up here, go down to a mountain bike trail.

The best part of the route... very doable on a gravel bike

Photos showing one of the worse boggy sections lower down. Descent is on south side of fence/wall that can be crossed very close (within 30 metres) to the weather radar station, look for a gap in the top strand of barbed wire. Good fun after a bit of dry weather, just don't break your neck!
