The weather isn’t going to hold up for very long, so try a tenting experience while you still can!

The Seven Lochs and North Lanarkshire websites have provided information on the following activities taking place this August. To find out more, please contact us!

Palacerigg at Dusk Walk

Wednesday 14 August at Palacerigg Visitor Centre, Palacerigg Country Park

It’s difficult to catch the creatures of the night in a regular day time routine. Therefore the Countryside Ranger Service is organising a walk through the park to catch sights of animas such as owls, deer, badgers and bats. Contact them on 01236 632838. It’s a good idea to wear suitable footwear, and booking is important and spaces are limited.
