Good walk quiet before 9am. Some different terrains are good for training. It's been well kept. However, some parts could be better. The only bad point is the ridiculous speedbumps on the property. They are way too high, they do their job but if you visit often expect excess ware on your car!

Lovely new playpark, not fat from m&ds. Wish there was more open toilets on the path around the Loch. I wish there was more bins on the way. I took my little girl for a walk with me and she noticed there are lot of rubbish being left on the path. We had some ice cream from m&d and I had had to carry melted ice cream nearly half way as there was no bin on the way. The toilets available are only at m&d and the sport centre which is half way. There are some public toilets on the way but they are closed. It's a shame as it is a season after all. Apart of that it's a lovely, lovely park to walk, great views and very pleasant walk especially on a sunny day.

Nice Loch with good pathways along the water. If you want to walk around the whole Loch it's around 5.6 km I believe.
