Geilston Garden

[Walled Garden at Geilston Garden]

Geilston Garden dates back over 200 years, lying at the end of an avenue of limes on the Clyde coast a few miles west of Dumbarton. The garden splits into several varied parts: an interesting kitchen garden, orchard, slightly nondescript paddock, wooded burn (bluebells in May) and - the highlight - a very colourful walled garden. These all fan out from the (private) Geilston House: owned by a succession of wealthy merchant families until 1998, when it was taken into the care of the National Trust for Scotland. A pleasant diversion for an hour or two on a summer's day.

Loup of Fintry

Image
Winding through gently scenic nowhere land between the Campsie Fells and Fintry Hills, the Endrick Water unexpectedly takes an almighty 94-foot plunge into a side-on gorge. This is one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the Scottish Lowlands (although Corra Linn and Grey Mare's Tail both come close), so why it's not better known is something of a mystery. Perhaps it's because the Carron Valley Reservoir upstream blocks much of the burn's catchment area, so waiting until after a period of local heavy rain is even more important than with other waterfalls. Nevertheless, this awesome cataract should be right at the top of your list.

Anything else? There are informal laybys on both sides of the road near Gallows Knowe with space for about 5 cars in total. Follow the signposted, muddy footpath about 300 metres to the top of the waterfall, with good…

Walk: The Bonnie east Bank o' Loch Lomond

Image
25 miles after setting off from the centre of Milngavie, the West Highland Way runs along the full length of Loch Lomond's east bank. You can tackle this wild, intimate section of the trail as a day walk with the help of public transport from Tarbet: a ferry to the start of the hike, and a bus back at the end of the day. With the Inversnaid Hotel midway, a seasonal cafe at Cailness and Scotland's oldest pub (The Drover's Inn) at the end, there are plenty of places to break your journey. You could also check out Rob Roy's Cave en route - this damp slit where the outlaw allegedly hid is far from impressive, but at least you can say you've been there (look out for the letters highlighting the entrance in white paint). As for the rest: don't be fooled into expecting an easy lakeside stroll. Craggy knolls, thousands of tree roots and steep slopes make this an unforgiving zone for unsteady ankles, but spare a thought for through-hikers having to negotiate it all wit…

Floors Castle

Image
If bigger is better, it doesn't get any better than this! Floors Castle is the current seat of the Duke of Roxburghe, with a cool 7,000 rooms. Actually, we've no idea of the real figure (it's probably in the hundreds), but the building certainly holds the title of the largest inhabited mansion in Scotland. This Borders behemoth dates to 1721, with William Adam the original architect. But it was William Playfair (also the brains behind Edinburgh's New Town) who added turrets, battlements and other fancy embellishments a century later, which make the place instantly recognisable today. Although interesting, we'd have liked to have a little more information and seen a few more rooms on the self-guided house tour, which takes in a handful of public rooms and exhibition areas but none of the more intimate areas such as bedrooms or bathrooms. Taking photographs of the interior isn't allowed. Around the estate there's a lot more to see, making the ticket price wo…
