Stop outside the 'pink palace' for a breather before or after hitting the trails. There's also a bicycle museum next to the house which is worth checking out.

View of Drumlanrig from Marr Burn

Highlight • Viewpoint

There's a bench here, and it's hard to resist stopping to take in this viewpoint of the south face of Drumlanrig Castle. It overlooks the steep escarpment of the Marr Burn - which runs parallel to the trail you're on.
