Where possible the routes create a loop and can be followed in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. There are posts with coloured discs with directional arrows on them for you to follow.

The routes are a mixture of surfaced and unsurfaced pathsand are marked as follows: Surfaced Unsurfaced

The Purple is the most difficult route as the majority of it is unsurfaced and can be very muddy in places. It has steep inclines and sections of boardwalk.Although the Orange route is the longest it is theeasiest with the majority of it surfaced.

The waymarked routes are multi user and can be used by walkers, horse riders and people on bikes. Scottish Outdoor Access Code applies and users should be aware that not all parts of the routes are suitable for all user groups.

Cyclists - slow down and give way to other users

Horse Riders - no galloping in the Park and kick dung off paths

Walkers - Allow space for other users to pass. Keep dogs under control and pick up after your dog wherever it poops
