About Mugdock Castle

Mugdock Castle is located in Mugdock Country Park, just west of the village of Mugdock. Built in the 14th century by the Graham family, more recent modifications and expansions created a residence with a sizeable footprint, including a chapel, large domestic ranges and walled gardens. The castle is within the registration county of Stirlingshire, although it is only 2 kilometres north of Milngavie, East Dunbartonshire, on the northern outskirts of Greater Glasgow.
Address : Milngavie, Mugdock, Glasgow G62 8EL, UK

Tannoch LochTannoch Loch, known locally as the “duck pond”, gets its name from Tannoch Burn. The burn comes from Mugdock Loch and the bog north of the Reservoir. Originally a football field and marshland, the area was converted by John Woodburn, a Milngavie Provost, around 1895. He created an earth embankment to hold the water from Tannoch Burn. The original purpose was to use the water to operate a small hydro-electric plant.
