About the Park
With 270 hectares of woodland, moorland and heathland, connected by a network of paths, there’s plenty to explore.
Take a walk to Mugdock Castle which overlooks Mugdock Loch, passing by Craigend Castle on the way. Or walk over Pietches Moor then through Pheasants Wood to take in the Toadstool Trail. If you head over Khyber Field then you’ll see the WW2 Gunsites.
Finish off at the Courtyard, where you can pop into the Visitor Centre and chat with staff or browse our Gift Shop. Enjoy refreshments at one of the cafes or take a look round the gallery or garden centre.
Our history predates the bronze age and many of Scotland's momentous events in history have passed through our beautiful landscapes.
Come to Mugdock today to explore, learn, have fun, and immerse yourself in over 5,000 years of Scottish history.
