A stunning mural that brightens the town up. The mural, overlooking Craighouse Square, was commissioned by Adam McLean, who owns The Studio and Gallery. The striking artwork has been replicated from an oil painting by self-taught artist, Tom Donnelly. Adam commissioned the mural after being amazed by Tom’s modern version of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous masterpiece.

Castle Semple Collegiate Church was founded in 1504 to serve his castle and estate. John, Lord Sempill built the church which was then extended by his son to include the tomb of his father who was killed in the battle of Flodden. Today the church is partially ruined with no roof. The tomb is still visible and remains a good example of a medieval burial tomb.

Castle Semple Loch was part of the historic Lochwinnoch estate. It was a fishing loch and part of the wider drainage scheme that the estate owners created to improve the local land for farming. Today the loch is still used for fishing and water sports. There is a RSPB bird sanctuary along the southern shore and a network of paths and trails that are popular with families, cyclists and dog walkers in the wider Castle Semple Country Park to the north.

Short detour off the cycle path through Lochwinnoch, well worth it

Pretty waterfall just off the cycle path near Lochwinnoch. The perfect place to stop for a bite to eat.

An old railroad line transformed to a footpath/cycle track. Now part of the National Cycle Route 7.
