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

From the south entrance of Montgreenan Estate 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. 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 where the old woodland has recently been tended to restore health and provide a blend of landscaping and ancient woods.
The walk is on a variety of surfaces including fairly rough, natural paths through the woods, an open field, tarmac then a soil path through the estate. Good walking shoes or boots are required.
Limited parking is on a rough cut at the south entrance shown in the photograph. Please let Iain, the walk leader know if you are coming on the walk on 07368 913186. If anyone wants a lift from Eglinton Park car park, this can easily be arranged. Just let the walk leader or Linda know on 07578609864.
We meet at the South Entrance to Montgreenan Estate where there's parking for a few cars on a rough cut, at the signpost photographed. Alternative parking on the roadside of Benslie village. Lifts and car share from Eglinton Country Park by arrangement with Linda on 07578609864.
