Free country park above Milngavie with two castle ruins, family walking trails, and outstanding baby facilities including large changing rooms and high chairs in the cafe. Multiple car parks available.
🏆 Funzaroo Verdict
Best for families with babies through to older children who want castle exploration combined with easy countryside walking. Babies and toddlers are well catered for at the visitor centre. Older children enjoy the accessible castle interior. The unrestored castle is fenced for conservation, so manage expectations on that one.

“Stunning historic castle which was super interesting and fun to explore. They offer a stand with historic information about the castle which was educational. The walks around the park are brilliant for families and dogs and the scenery is fascinating and tranquil.”

“Nice place for a walk. The ruins are ok but nothing spectacular. Mugdock castle is locked and the other one with a sad history is fenced but maybe better this way.”

“A fantastic place to visit! The ruins are beautiful - they could easily be used as movie sets. One of them is accessible, while another is deliberately left unrestored to provide a habitat for wildlife like bats, which is just great! There’s no entrance fee, and parking is available too. A wonderful spot for a walk and some history - highly recommended!”
