The Milton of Campsie Community Garden will open its gates to visitors on Sunday 23 August 2026, as part of Scotland’s Gardens Scheme. This roughly one-acre hillside site, nestled beside the Glazert Water, was created by a single gardener and features a willow tunnel that leads into several distinct planted sections. A small beach area at the water’s edge provides a safe spot for children to play, while otters and kingfishers are occasionally spotted along the river. Originally conceived as a memorial space, the garden’s design encourages quiet exploration and reflection. Entry costs are available on the Scotland’s Gardens Scheme website.
The community garden in Milton of Campsie is the creation of one man, covering roughly an acre of hillside beside the Glazert Water. A small beach area where otters and kingfishers can be spotted, is a great place for children to play at the water's edge or for water-loving dogs. The garden was conceived as a memorial garden and as you walk through the willow tunnel to the various sections you will come across memorandum and dedications. With no shortage of relaxing seating areas, you can sit and enjoy the children's lawn (created for the local nursery) complete with a miniature gypsy caravan with inside fittings, or the ancient ruin with its chimney and barbecue. Children will enjoy running over the two bridges that cross the waterlily pond (they may even spot a newt). The variety and ingenuity make this an unmissable garden. Directions: From Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch and Lennoxtown follow signs to Milton of Campsie and then follow the yellow SGS signs.
