A great family day out!

[Link http://www.finlaystone.co.uk ] in Renfrewshire, overlooking the river Clyde, offers a great family day out with imaginative play areas, picnic areas & bbq sites, colourful gardens, tumbling waterfalls, events and activities, a tea room, gift shop and visitor centre.

Finlaystone House has been the home to five families throughout it’s eight hundred year history. The house has also hosted some of Scotland’s most famous historical figures in the past, most notably John Knox in 1556 and Robert Burns in 1768. The house was extended by the noted architect Sir John James Burnet in 1900.


Whether your visit is for a breath of fresh air, a place for the kids to let off some steam, a venue for a family picnic, barbecue or birthday party, or just to take the dog for a walk, you'll find the space you need here.


One of the best attractions for children is the extensive play area which has been largely built from local materials. There is a boat, a huge tram and hummer, a pirate ship and many more fun places to play! There are a number of BBQ sites and shelters near the play area which visitors are welcome to use.
