Knockburn Sports Loch

There's a lot of history behind Knockburn Loch. It dates back to 1998, when Bert McIntosh bought the area and started working on it in 2001, creating the loch. Then, he added a house with garages, volleyball courts, changing facilities, a football pitch and a conference centre, creating a recreational venue, welcoming people to enjoy a day in the outdoors!

June 2007 was the official opening date, and since then, thousands of people have visited the area to enjoy multiple sports, such as running, football, sailing and more. In 2015 a 650m cycle track was added, as well as an extension of the loch!

Knockburn Sports Loch specialises in water and land experiences for members and non-members. We cater our sessions for kid activity camps, corporate groups, summer camps, stag and hen parties and more. You can  choose between equipment hire (SUP and Kayaking) or a group session upon request. Among our land activities, you can enjoy beach volleyball, cycling, orienteering, running and football.

We are the ideal venue for an exclusive activity day in a private and stunning setting. We work with qualified and dedicated instructors, always aiming to deliver a top-tier experience, tailoring every session to individual needs!
