Probably easy to find in Google under Blueskyscotland- Kilmacolm or Quarriers Village.<br /> Blueskyscotland- I Am Dorothy and I live in OZ (had just watched film before post) and Greenhill Country are two others. Castle Semple Water Park is also nearby and a great place for walking with easy parking.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-55560053247159215602016-08-20T08:01:35.405+01:002016-08-20T08:01:35.405+01:00Thanks Bob

I have two border terriers but haven't noticed myself shouting at them too much! <br />As you say, they're all known to the locals, but few beyond. Next time you're back, let me know, and I will buy you a coffee in one of the many coffee shops....<br />Regards KeithKilmacolm KMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-38812360137907209732016-04-03T11:30:06.241+01:002016-04-03T11:30:06.241+01:00Hi LD,

Makes a nice circular walk that's not too far but very interesting.<br />Bob.blueskyscotlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09373718369702364265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-13698925985308161052016-04-02T19:16:55.687+01:002016-04-02T19:16:55.687+01:00Thanks Bob.

There is a reasonable path around Knapps Loch too that is great for views over the district. If you type in Blueskyscotland. Sringtime comes to Renfrewshire you will find another post from May 2012 on the blog with even better photos and great wildlife.I always find good sunny days in Late April or May are the best as it's not humid of sticky then for walking and the gardens in Kilmacolm and Quarriers Village are in full bloom. Quarriers Village is a worthwhile place as well for a visit.<br /><br />Bob.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-27445138953882803752016-04-02T16:54:34.726+01:002016-04-02T16:54:34.726+01:00I did the Glen Moss walk today, having failed to g...I did the Glen Moss walk today, having failed to get off the bus in time to access Knapps Loch. Instead, I walked up Houston Road and you have described this gem of a place perfectly. I can't wait to visit it again in high summer. <br /><br />I had no idea there was a wildlife reserve here (had hoped the road would eventually take me to Knapps Loch) and it was lovely, just ambling along, following the path, hearing only the occasional whack of a golf ball. When I saw the wood, (I say 'wood' but it looked like an enchanted forest) beckoning like a cathedral, (oh I'm going all purple prosey!) my heart sang. I'd have liked to have just walked aimlessly among the trees but was led by the orange dots to the marshland. I usually go for lochs and castles and dramatic landscapes, but it was bliss to just sit and listen to birdsong I'd never heard before, in front of a gentle, unassuming, bog. <br /><br />The path leading down to the village is just as enchanting. I was at Rumbling Bridge last week and I honestly preferred this.<br /><br />You're right Bob - this is an enchanting place and I won't breathe a word to anyone.<br /><br />Thanks for all your brilliant posts.laisydaisynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6429013260986201371.post-53820275893336768812012-05-18T22:43:37.874+01:002012-05-18T22:43:37.874+01:00Cheers Jim.Hope you enjoy your trip.
