Mugdock Country Park is located 10 miles north of Glasgow close to the populations of Milngavie and Strathblane. It was designated a Country Park in 1987 and combines woodland, heathland, marshland and moor along with formal walking routes, a loch, castles and gunsites left over from WWII.
The area has a long and fascinating history as well as an outstanding natural environment which sees almost 70% of the Park designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and Mugdock Castle designated a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Craigend Castle is C-listed and the Courtyard (former Stables building) is B-listed.
Mugdock Country Park is currently owned and managed by both East Dunbartonshire and Stirling Councils through a Joint Management Committee which meets quarterly (link to committee papers). It is rated 4-star by Visit Scotland and has consistently high ratings on Tripadvisor and Google.
The strategic direction of the Park has been set by the Mugdock Strategy 2022-27 with associated Mugdock Land Management Plan.
