Days Out - Craignethan Castle

Craignethan Castle

Spent the day out yesterday at Craignethan Castle. It's a Historic Scotland property. We had a great day. The weather helped. It's a very good place to visit if history or castles are you thing. It's a bit off the beaten track and you have to drive a couple of miles on a single track roads to get to it. Worth it in my opinion. Not sure of the entry price as I have a membership so its free for me.

Next time when we go back, we'll be taking a picnic and sitting out in the inner courtyard.

Finished off the day of with a cracking meal at the Tillietudlem Inn and a couple of pints of best.

Out Walking

Went out for a walk this evening for a change with the pram and @babybunten aka Rowan. It was a great evening for a walk. Dry and clear. Went along some of the cycle route 756, when we got to Nerston we headed over to the Stewartfield Loch or the James Hamilton Heritage Park, whichever you prefer. Well I managed to take a couple of photographs and I thought I would share them as I like them.

Further round towards the island where all the ducks and water fowl were gathering.

A view if the castle or tower.

This last one is of the red sky over the Show Ground on my way home.

All in all we walked approximately 5 miles, to and from the loch. It was a good distance and a cracking evening for it. Roll on spring, the longer days and the chance to do this more often with the all-terrain pram.
