It is approximately a 7km route over the hill from Cardross to Balloch with gorgeous views of the Clyde.
The coffin would be carried to the church in Cardross and along the route there are several coffin rests to ease the weight of the deceased.

Kilmahew Castle has had a varied history, some believe it was only erected in the 17th century as a folly and others, that it was built for the Napiers in the 14th century. These are details we hope to uncover as we peel back the layers of history on the Kilmahew Estate.

The Victorian infrastructure of weirs and canals allow us to adapt these old networks to create micro hydroelectric power for our entire estate.
With solar, ground heat and geo-thermal we are looking to be net zero carbon from the start.

Kilmahew Castle is believed to be one of the earliest examples of "Gothick" revival. These additional features were attributed to John Douglas of Pinkerton in around 1744.
