We are the Kilmarnock & Loudoun Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a pleasant walk which takes in some tracks along part of the river Euchan and the river Nith, as well as walking on some open hillside and minor roads. Along the way we will pass some points of interest including the Euchan Well, Euchan Falls, Sanquhar Castle, and the Crawick Multiverse. (Please note the Multiverse is the last stop of our walk, we will only be paying a fleeting visit to the site). There is also a short section of walking on the Southern Upland Way.
There is a lovely coffee shop available at the end of our walk for those who wish to have a coffee (and cake?).
