A spokesperson from the park said: “We appreciate that people will be getting out to exercise, walk their dogs and get the kids out in the fresh air,.”

However, they added: “Please consider if your journey to Mugdock is necessary and in line with Government guidance, especially at 
weekends when it can get 
extremely busy.
