We are the Eastwood Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Depart from Mearns primary school along the old Ayr Rd to East Renfrewshire golf club and through their well kept grounds past Pilmuir Reservoir into Pilmuir Rd. Pass on to the old farm road to Cadoc woods on to Cathcart Castle golf club which also has beautiful grounds. Walk through Greenbank gardens along to Drove Rd. Travel on to Titwood Rd to Hazeldene allowing a loop round the Culvert area. Pass back to Langrig Lane on to Mearns Wood back to Mearns primary school.
Walkers wishing to attend the walk must advise the walk leader at the latest by the Friday night, advising which distance they anticipate completing. This will allow the leader to advise walkers where they can cut off. Numbers are required to ensure Ramblers Safety guidelines are met.
As this walk is undertaken in the winter it will require a brisk pace due to daylight constraints.
This route is designed for all Eastwood Ramblers fitness levels, as there are turn offs optional at 3, 6, 9 and 12 miles with an entire walk length of 15 miles. The complete circuit is strenuous due to the length with a brisk pace required due to limited daylight. There will brief stops at approximately 4, 7.5 and 10 miles to allow a break. The 7.50 mile stop will be for lunch. There are toilet facilities at Whitecraigs Tennis club and Greenbank Gardens.
Drive up the Ayr Rd to the set of lights before the Malletshugh Restaurant and turn right into Hunter Dr again turn first right into Mearns Primary school visitor car park.
