Overview

Walking from the Bannockburn Heritage Centre we follow good paths, pavement and minor road to the ruins of Polmaise Castle, the grounds of which are being restored by volunteers. We will have a tea break there. No lunch stop on this walk. This is our 'pre AGM walk' and we can have our packed lunch indoors at the Stirling Bowling Club just before the AGM.
