Tips from the Community
Good gravel tracks and dirt for Trail MTB Explorers on an adventure.

Be careful in winter weather on these tracks. it is an elevated area, snow & ice capped. Two days after storm Eowyn January 2025, there had been snow fall and black ice was in loads of locations on these tracks. Speed was down considerably, being careful on how brakes are used. Warmer months this is a good location for MTB riding

Probably the best area to use as a base, the car park will fit maybe 14 cars in. Many trails start from this location, quick and easy to get onto the hills from here. Dog walkers and hikers do use this area commonly also

An impressive house to live in. Thatched rounded roof, perimeter walls round and shaped and painted white. Unique and a quality design

Using the power of moving water to drive a mill wheel is an ancient invention of the human spirit of discovery, the origins of which can be traced back to times long past. Thanks to such a construction, human or animal muscle power could be easily replaced by the power of the natural elements through a watercourse - natural or artificially created - in order to grind grain into corn or press oil from fruit, for example. There are essentially two different ways of driving watermills: * Either the flowing water simply hits the blades of the water wheel from below to set it in motion; or * the water is guided above the wheel - usually through a so-called "mill channel" - and falls onto the blades; this type of construction is more efficient due to natural gravity.

Many quality gravel tracks and gravel paths adorn both Kinnoull Hill and the adjacent Deuchny Hill. A free Jubilee car park sits between the two hills. Besides the gravel ways, there are plenty of dirt singletracks for the more adventurous.
