Good if you want a walk, not if you want to explore a castle. Medium sized castle in a state of disrepair, there is no access to any part of it. There is an information board regarding the protection of a few animal species inside the grounds, protected by a tall fence that surrounds it. It is a cute walkway to and from here you can do a ~10 minute walk to mugdock castle too. Lots of bird activity and dog walkers.

This is a beautiful Place to walk around whether you are a walking enthusiast or if you have dogs. There are plenty of information boards about the interesting history of the ruins that are there, whilst you can't go into the old zoo there are some ruins further along you can walk into and around. They also have some little shops, cafes and a garden centre nearby where you can stop for a break afterwards.

Still chasing around finding old Castles, this time Craigend. This sits behind a 6ft fence with no access to the ruins but i still managed a couple of pictures with my camera in the air stretching above the fence. Its a pity it was pouring down today but either way that's another castle ticked of the list :)

I went and saw this with my friend. It was great to see the old ruin but sad that it has fallen into such a state of disrepair. The building I am sure was great before the roof was removed. It is fenced off so you cannot go inside but the surroundings are excellent for a quite and relaxing walk also!
