Brought trees here as a memorial for my brother who loved the hills and glens. The whole place has a majesty about it with cliffs, trees, grass, bogs bringing together what he loved. A place to sit and comptemplate, remember him and just sit

Terrific views over Dumbarton over Inverclyde and the firth of Clyde to the west and Loch Lomond to the north. Perfect for dog walks or moderate strolls.

Have known about this place but more Overtoun House which is side by side with this, but had not been before. There is a small selection of paths that can be followed cross crossing the hillside with some great views south across the Clyde and beyond. When you get higher up there are lovely views to Ben Lomond and the Arrochar Alps. For those feeling more energetic then you can continue to Loch Humphrey and the Doughnut and more. Open hillside or short woodland walks are both to be found here. Paths were well defined although signage is there it could do with a little more but that is a minor criticism. A little bit muddy in places but mostly good surfaces, so good for walking the dog. If you go on a Friday or Saturday then the cafe at Overtoun house is open but alternatively take a picnic and sit on one of the benches. We will be back.

Lots of great paths and trails to follow. Few suggested routes of various lengths and all in loops so you don’t have to trace your steps. Some places a little boggy. Excellent views over the surrounding area on a good day.
