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

The walk leaves from the Visitors Centre & takes us through the wooded country park taking in Craigend Castle & Mugdock Castle. We will eventually join up with the West Highland Way which takes us out of the park to the Reservoirs which sit above Milngavie. They form part of the Victorian water system which comes from Loch Katrine & supplies Glasgow. We will take our lunch break here before walking around one of the reservoirs. We then have a short road stretch before heading back into Mugdock Park & heading up on to a stretch of moorland overlooking a disused quarry. We then make our way back to the courtyard where there is a cafe, gift shops & toilet facilities.
Risk Assessment- due to the recent heavy rain we may find the paths slippy. There are also tree roots in the wooded areas. Care should be taken on the short road stretch. Please also DO NOT fall in the reservoir!
Meet at East Ayrshire Headquarters Car Park for car sharing.
Mugdock Park Visitor Centre. Passing the East car park until you reach the Visitor Car Park on your left. We will meet here for the start of the walk.
