Overview
Enjoy a beautiful evening exploring the countryside around Ecclesmachan on a circular walk packed with scenery, local history & rewarding views. Starting in the charming village, we’ll make our way through the Scottish Agricultural College campus before climbing to the summit of Binny Craig, a distinctive local landmark offering breathtaking views across the Bathgate Hills to the Pentlands, Ochils and Lomond Hills beyond.
The return journey leads us through peaceful woodland beside Ecclesmachan Burn, where spring & early summer wildflowers carpet the banks & add colour to this tranquil route. A wonderful opportunity to enjoy good company, fresh air & some of West Lothian’s finest evening scenery.
