Easily accessible from M9. Woods has many trails easy to get lost, quarry has jumps north third has some good downhill sections. NT climb to the trig point is a good workout , what more do you need?

Cambu & North Third
Still my favourite place to mtb
What do you like?
Cambusbarron(Gillies Hill) is a great place to mtb. Has something for everyone xc, dh, freeride & dj. Perfect for honing your skills, practicing techniques and sessioning jumps. Or you can do full runs of 2-3 mins each through a myriad of trails that criss cross and snake down the hill. There is also a great set of dirt jumps in the quarry that vary in size from small training jumps to jumps big enough to keep most riders entertained.
North Third is more xc than anything with steep climbs and undulating downs.
What could be improved?
Nothing really, it's not a trail centre so there isn't any facilities except the car park at Quarry Road
Would you recommend?
*Yes*

Decent
Hand dug freeride lines and some decent sized jumps in the quarry (at least for Scotland). Plenty of stuff in the surrounding woods to keep you occupied and peer pressuring your mates into riding the bigger jumps is always a hoot. Be prepared for overgrown trails but the main lines are mostly okay trails could do with a bit of maintenance - I wish it weren't so far away or I'd be there myself. The main two quarry jump lines are both very rideable and fun and great for progressing skills and especially confidence. There is also some absolutely huge stuff currently unrideable as its overgrown - such as a big step down rock gap into an equally large step up.
The North Third loop which is easily accessible from the Cambusbarron area is a great natural cross-country loop we some challenging sections - some steep ups and some very technical features. Definitely worth a ride.
What could be improved?
Just the fact they are looking a bit rugged at the moment, though we saw a good number of people up there digging and clearing so that's great.
Would you recommend?
*Yes*
