Recently visited this lovely new place with my 1.5 year old daughter and we had a great time. My daughter particularly loved the wee play park. It’s refreshingly different to standard play parks with the most beautiful rustic nature hut full of wonderful toys and things to entertain all ages (especially good when raining which is was!) and little tunnels etc to explore. The nature trail was a bit too wet / flooded the day we visited so I look forward to going back when the weather Is better. We easily passed a couple of hours between the park and lovely little cafe / gift shop. I had a nice coffee & scone and there was a great high chair for my daughters snack time plus very friendly staff there. I bought the handmade soap and love it (I have sensitive skin as well). Highly recommend for a family morning or afternoon out ????

While visiting this centre opted for Guided Tour and must say the “Female Guide” was fantastic well versed up on the History of this place and very knowledgeable. Personally would recommend Guided Tour which is easier than having to read all the info from various places visited then after Tour you can then go on “Annie McLeod Ride” and visit the “Roof Garden” all worth doing. Also recommend to try the “Famous Ice Cream” sure you won’t be disappointed.

This monument is at the back of the graveyard, highlighting the Covenanters history, along with other references in nearby headstones. If this history is your thing, it’s worth the visit

Located in the midst of the old graveyard, this historic building is in much need of help. The history attached is amazing, linked to William Wallace. But sadly the ruin is in a vadvway
