It is the beginning of the famous West Highland Way and there are several walking and cycling routes that start and finish there. Milngavie itself is not only a lovely, pedestrianised village but has previously been ranked as Scotland's most beautiful mainland town centre and one of Glasgow's most sought-after semi-urban/semi-rural areas. The town itself has a wide variety of shops, restaurants, deli's and bars along with essential businesses.

Within easy reach of Pleasant Hill guests can play golf at Dougalston, Milngavie, Clober, Hilton Park, Douglas Park all within 3 miles of the house. Nearby Mugdock Country Park and Milngavie Reservoir are also popular destinations with tourists and walkers. The reservoir comprises two separate reservoirs, Craigmaddie and Mugdock. It was opened by Queen Victoria in 1859 and is the main water supply for the city of Glasgow.

Glasgow itself offers an endless choice of things to see and do. The Burrell Collection in the south of the city has just reopened after a five year major refurbishment. It is home to over 9000 artefacts which span six thousand years and were collected by William Burrell over a 75 year period.
