Dumbrock Muir is just across Craigallian Road from the
North & East Car Parks. To make this walk more interesting
and increase the distance a tad, we shall go a more difficult
route.
Whatever Car Park you have parked in, make your way to
Mugdock Castle and then take the path down Mugdock Wood.
When you reach the West Highland Way, turn right then
walk to you come to Craigallian Road, cross and rejoin
the West Highland Way.
When you reach Carbeth Loch, make an about turn climb
over the stile and make your way back through the forest
path. At the path junction go left. This will take you
down the Cuilt Brae Road.
After you pass the Farm House on your right, you will
reach a gate across the road, there is a small grass footpath
on the right, go down this then turn left and walk until
the path crosses the burn.
At the top of this path go right then left and this is
where you join the Dumbrock Muir. If you do not have a
Map of the area look for the Pylons, one of them is in
the forest to your right; the one to its left is close
to the North Car Park of Mugdock.
The ground can be a bit boggy on the Muir at times, but
it is a pleasant walk on a good day and the views are
excellent.
