As the gateway to the 108 miles of the Muirshiel Regional Park, Lochwinnoch is a village in the Renfrewshire area of Scotland. If you are interested in learning about Scottish wildlife and birds, then this village is only 20 miles from Glasgow and is the perfect location for you. You can drive here or even take the train or bus. The more energetic can walk to the village by taking the cycle track from Glasgow to Gretna. Lochwinnoch takes its name from Loch Winnoch, but the name has been changed to Castle Semple Loch. This was because the Semple family built a castle here and the town grew up around it. Loch Winnoch was named for St. Winnoc to whom the early church here was dedicated. Although Castle Semple no longer exists, visitors should take time to visit the Collegiate Church, which dates back to the early 1500's and has been remarkably well preserved.
