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

The walk will start from the south entrance to Montgreenan Estate - as shown in the photo. From there, we will walk the old woods and follow Lugton Water to the ruins of Montgreenan Castle/Bishop's Palace, which lie in a loop of the Lugton Water at its confluence with the Cowlinn Burn. The bluebells here can be spectacular at this time of year. We continue to follow Lugton Water then walk up from the woods and onto open farmland then the formal paths and earth tracks of Montgreenan Estate.
The walk is on a variety of surfaces including fairly rough, natural paths through the woods, an open field, tarmac then a soil track that is often muddy. Good walking shoes or boots are required and poles and gaiters sensible especially if there's been wet weather.
The south entrance to Montgreenan Estate, beyond Benslie Village. Parking in the side lane beside the gates is possible. Alternatively, park in Benslie village and walk the two miles to the Estate gates.
