As always, green spaces and parks in big cities are always crowded, and this park was no exception... The high density of pedestrians and cyclists was difficult for our recumbent bikes..😅 Luckily, we know the Highland cattle from our local farmers, where we often admire them in the pastures on our ✅🚲—tours.

There were quite a few Highland cows on the property. Mothers and babies, and tan colored or black coloured. They seemed friendly enough with the babies coming to the fence for a pat. Some folk were feeding them carrots too.

Wonderful Country House. Shame it wasn't open when I visited, but the gardens were superb and the exterior of the house was nice.

"I Remember" is a memorial walk through Pollok Country Park. There are 40 tree supports installed alongside the paths. The idea was to create a safe place for anyone affected by the pandemic to walk in nature and remember, reflect and hope for healing.

Pollock House is an excellent example of Georgian grandeur. Built in the 18th century and extended in the early 20th century it's a wonderful grand house and gardens. This is where the National Trust for Scotland was dreamed up and today Pollock House is one of the grandest in their collection. You can visit the house (paid entry for non-members) but you can also run around the houses exterior, gardens and parkland for free.
