Overview

This is a leisurely walk on well maintained forestry tracks & woodland paths through a Scots Pine plantation with hidden lochs and an abundance of wildlife. Red Squirrels, Otters and Deer are often spotted in the area.

We will search for the Pulpit Stone of Covenanter days and take a quick look at Tullieallan Castle from the outside. Sadly admission is not possible.

The paths can be very muddy so stout footwear is a must. It can also be overgrown with jaggy nettles so short trousers not recommended. If you have walking poles, you might want to use them.

We’ll stop for a bite to eat, so bring a snack and a drink.

If you wish to join this walk - please text the Walk Leader Margaret on 07397 562809 no later than Tuesday 7th April.
