This was a great experience for our boys during the October Break. Andrew was a fantastic instructor, so skilled and knowledgable with plenty patience and humour! Was an excellent introduction to clay pigeon shooting on 4 stands. Highly recommend.

Wonderful walk (and we did it in the pouring rain!) on paths beautifully maintained by National Trust Scotland.

Kirroughtree - 7stanes

Reviewed By WelshBunnie - Biddulph, United Kingdom

Husband and I aren’t big forest hikers, (I’m always worried about ending up lost lol!) but staying local and reading about all the lovely walks in the area - we decided to try here. We did the cairn walk, and really enjoyed it!! such a lovely way to get out there and see nature. Easy to follow posts, and was in awe when we reached the loch. Great clear paths, it’s surprising how quick it gets dark! but loved the peace and quiet. Visited the centre for a cold drink, few people here and there but pretty quiet. Plenty of parking. We also visited the wildlife hide, beautiful birds of all kinds. Really enjoyable few hours, we’ll be back :)

Ae, Scotland’s shortest village name is only 20 minutes from the M74 motorway in Dumfries and Galloway... But ride its trails and you’ll think you’re in another world. With a superb variety of green, blue and red graded trails, an extreme rated downhill section, skills area plus a bike shop and great cafe you could not want for more at Ae.
