Bankhead Shepherd's Huts

Have a look at the map and information pack provided in the hut for details on the plentiful walks and bike rides in the area and around the estate… set off for the nearby Gargunnock hills, for example, or follow the local kid-friendly bike or walking paths nearby. Animal fans can spend some time at the Blair Drummond Safari Park: this popular place is home to lions, monkeys, giraffes, zebras, rhinos and elephants. A petting farm, viewing platforms, birds of prey display and regular talks are also at the park, as are play areas with boat safari, pedalos, rollercoaster, dodgems and an undercover sandpit. Scottish castles and Scottish whisky are also easy to explore from here, at Doune Castle and Stirling Castle (10 and 15 minutes’ drive away), and Deanston Distillery on the way to Doune, five minutes from the site. The Wallace Monument is 15 minutes' drive away.
