Mugdock Country Park

Mugdock Country Park, the Dumbrock area to the north, the Craigallian Estate and Carbeth area to the west, and the Milngavie Hilton Park golf courses to the southwest provide a huge mixture of terrain and are a favourite CLYDE area. At the south end there is the urban environment of Milngavie town centre where the railway station and supermarket are on the map. The north has rough moorland and mixed plantation forest, while the middle section has areas of managed country park, old growth woodland, and moorland. Finally, there are even two ruined castles and some WWII archaeology to top it all off. There is a good network of paths through this varied terrain and areas of intricate details in contours, rock, and vegetation. The Mugdock CP visitor centre has toilets, cafes, a garden centre, a shop, and car parking. Carbeth has limited parking and the St Mocha drive through coffee shop.

This is my first ever orienteering map started in March 2020...gone through many versions including a change from Open Orienteering mapper to OCAD and now based on LiDAR for Scotland Phase 3 and 5. The map was completely redrawn (KW, 2023) using phase 5 LiDAR data and vegetation based on NDVD analysis of the area and many recces. The Carbeth section was further updated in 2024 and used for 25 April 2024 Clyde event.
