Duelling trees:  Two Spanish Chestnuts can be found in the grounds of Schoenstatt Scotland.  During the 1600’s a feud between the tory Stirlings of Glorat and the Kincaid Whigs resulted in a duel and the death of Malcolm Kincaid.  Unfortunately one of the trees fell over in 1990 but is still alive.

The Campsie Fells

Right on our doorstep.  All north-facing rooms in the Retreat Centre have amazing views of the Fells and if you are walking in the grounds of the Centre, you are virtually at the foot of the Fells. The Campsies are one of the most famous Scottish locations for jasper, a colourful semi-precious stone much prized by lapidarists (gem-buffs).
