We just returned from a walk around Mugdock Country Park on the outskirts of Glasgow bordering the Campsie Fells. Incredibly it has 2 castles (Craigend Castle being slightly more ruined than Mugdock Castle) and used to house an artillery battery that covered Glasgow from air raids in WW II (which you can walk around). So if you are looking for something to break up a long-ish walk there is plenty to see. So below is Mugdock Castle...
and after a bit of a walk ...
... you'll come to Craigend Castle, which was fenced off as it was falling into disrepair .
... as you can probably tell from the tree growing out of the ramparts. The park was absolutely fantastic and gave me a chance to try out a new rucksack we bought for getting Charlie "off road" and out and about a bit more. You can see a few more images here.
