Mugdock Country Park

Once these were the Mugdock forests, the lands of the local castle. They were mostly cut down for building, but today there is an ongoing reforestation project. It seems that these once-dense forests served many purposes: not only did they help keep the castle inaccessible, but they were used for hunting, walking and the burning of witches. Today they are a lovely area, misty and romantic, that will transport you far from the city and into another era! I can't wait to go back.
