Fannyside Lochs

0.62 miles (1 km)

Ordnance Survey Map Open Streetmap These two pretty lochs are located next to Palacerigg Country Park in Cumbernauld.
The lakes are the home to Cumbernauld Sailing club where you can try dinghy sailing, paddle boarding and windsurfing. There's also some nice waterside walking trails along the lochs. It's a very peaceful place with lovely views across the still waters to the surrounding hills and countryside. You can also look out for various water loving wildlife on the water.

 Fannyside Loch. View from west bank of Fannyside Loch looking east. The white building on the left is the "Toll House" on Fannyside Road. There are only pike and perch to be caught in this loch. It is only a few feet deep and is mainly used for wind surfing and other water sports. Many years ago, it was a popular spot for curling during long, cold winters.
