Outdoor Activities

Walking: Stonehill is a walker’s paradise. There are seven miles of great walking track around our land or take a hike across the hill to the village of Wanlockhead, around the local reservoirs and for experienced walkers there is nearby access to the Southern Upland Way.

Cycling: The National Cycle Network (74) can be accessed at Abington, or try the fantastic mountain biking trails at Glentress and Innerleithen

Fishing: Just take your rod down to the bank of the Duneaton Water in front of the cottage, or get a day permit to fish on the famous Clyde River at Abington or the picturesque River Nith at Sanquhar.

Golfing: There are many local, reasonably priced golf courses, where non members are welcome.

Birdwatching: Throughout the year we are visited by lapwing, curlew, oyster catcher, red shank, snipe, buzzard, hen harrier and grouse. A family of herons usually nest by the Duneaton Water and you might even spot long-eared owls in the woods.
