Great place for dog walkers at whitelee windfarm. See if you can see any of our kindness rocks that we left there with walking with the wounded charity pictured.

Cycled over to this from the Eaglesham Moor road and was rewarded with the sound of a nearby cuckoo. There is a nearby museum but it was closed on the day of my visit.

Located in the centre of a massive wind farm, surrounded by gargantuan windmills. I was visiting Lochgoin Covenanters Museum. Entry is free. A 3 room memorial without staff. Quite moving and patently well-cared for. Definitely recommended for anyone interested in Scottish history, so SNP supporters should not venture thereto. I also visited Fenwick Kirk as there are connexions.

A wonderful atmospheric little shrine of a museum. I loved it and was touched by it. Not to be missed.

Went to the monument and the museum, both of which were very interesting. The farmer or perhaps his son, who host the museum and whose road leads to the monument and museum, seem to have some sort of vendetta about people using their road even though the museum is advertised and directed from the bottom of the road. This is shame as the farmer's wife was very helpful, in opening the museum and discussing the history of the monument and the Covenanters.

So much history of the Covenetors and their plight. The museum is a must to go and see.

Isolated and off the beaten track this is well worth a visit if you appreciate the freedoms we have today compared to what life was like back then
