Saturday, 8th March: A Milngavie Meander

This meandering walk will take in sections of Mugdock Country Park, Milngavie Reservoir and the West Highland Way. There will be options to shorten the walk.

Situated 10 miles north of Glasgow and designated in 1987, the 270 hectare Mugdock Country Park comprises woodland, moorland and heathland. A good proportion of the park is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

There are many interesting parts to the park including Mugdock Loch, Craigend Castle, Mugdock Castle (a Scheduled Ancient Monument), and an anti-aircraft gun site (from WWII) at Khyber Field.

The Courtyard, adjacent to the parking area, houses the Visitor Centre, shop, toilets, and café.
