A wonderful view is available from the hill on the north side of the Black Cart River, on the Howwood-Lochwinnoch Road. Views extend from Paisley to Lochwinnoch and beyond. The curious building on the summit is referred to as a temple on modern ordnance survey maps, and has been for over 150 years. The owner of the property, however, believes it is an ornate shelter, used by hunters in previous centuries.

Howwood also offers a number of local attractions to cater for a range of tastes. For those interested in fishing there's the Trout Fishery, or perhaps a round or two of Golf? For the equestrian minded there's Mid Gavin Equestrian Centre and of-course there's a number of historical and architecturally important sites. Whatever you interest we're confident you'll find a host of activities to make sure you're ready for your evening meal in the Howwood's fine restaurant.
