“It proved to be a real hit with people of all ages - and from all over Scotland and beyond.

“It’s the perfect setting for such a magical mix of music, merriment and more - offering a unique mix of natural beauty and great facilities.

“MugStock shows exactly what can be achieved when talented organisers, inspirational surroundings, committed colleagues and supporters work in harmony.

“It’s great to see such innovative ideas being brought to fruition. I am particularly pleased by the strong support which was provided by country park colleagues and the council.

“As well as boosting visitor numbers, MugStock has helped to introduce a whole new audience to the park - one of the jewels in Scotland’s crown - where there’s a wealth of activities, attractions and events all year round.”

It is hoped that the success of MugStock could lead to more events taking place within the breathtaking grounds of Mugdock - with resulting benefits for the East Dunbartonshire economy.

These are exciting times for the park, which attracts over 600,000 visitors each year and recently unveiled a new adventure trail, visitor centre and shop.
