Duncarnock Fort (The Craigie) from Neilston
↔7.78 km ↗+84 m ↘-87 m ◔2h 30 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from East Renfrewshire

Duncarnock Fort (known locally as The Craigie) is a craggy hill (204 m / 669 ft) which stands invitingly on the banks of Glanderston Dam. Pausing on the summit of what was formerly an iron age fort, take a moment to wonder about it’s history and all that may have happened here many years ago! On a clear day, just as Mary Queen of Scots is rumoured to have done, you will enjoy panoramic views over greater Glasgow extending to the Campsies in the north.

Walking Lochgoin Circuit, Whitelee Windfarm

Lochgoin Circuit, Whitelee Windfarm
↔12.67 km ↗+62 m ↘-63 m ◔3h 50 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from East Renfrewshire

An easy 7 mile circuit around Whitelee Windfarm’s Lochgoin Reservoir. The route is way-marked meaning that navigation is simple and underfoot is a mixture of loose stones and grass. Look out for Dunwan Dam and take a detour to Blackwood Hill Viewpoint, from which on a clear day you will be able to see as far as the Isle of Arran and Ben Lomond.

Walking Cleughearn Forestry, Whitelee Windfarm

Cleughearn Forestry, Whitelee Windfarm
↔4.66 km ↗+36 m ↘-31 m ◔1h 25 ▲Easy
⚑Departure from South Lanarkshire

A pleasant walk around one of the quieter areas of forestry within the UK’s largest onshore windfarm. Starting at the parking area just off Ardochrig Road (near Strathaven), you soon find yourself on a mossy track through the trees. In this area it is possible to spot jay, bullfinch, merlin, peregrine, roe deer, and occasionally goldeneye ducks on the ponds.

Kelvin Walkway: Milngavie to Partick
↔17.02 km ↗+3 m ↘-47 m ◔4h 50 ▲Moderate
⚑Departure from East Dunbartonshire

This 10 mile route along the River Kelvin feels surprisingly rural when walked from North to South, with the hustle and bustle of the city becoming more apparent the further along you go. Rather poorly way-marked for the first half, signage is then very easy to follow for the remainder of the route down to the Riverside Museum, where the Kelvin meets the Clyde.

⚑Departure from East Dunbartonshire

The West Highland Way (WHW) is a very popular walking route in Scotland. At over 150 km in length, and with moderate elevations, it crosses the most western (as its name suggests) and the most southern (dare we say) regions of the Highlands.

A superb hike, marked by the diversity of landscapes, the omnipresence of water (lochs, rivers, streams, waterfalls... and the rain), and the wild beauty of the landscape. Last but not least, you are likely to make a few friends along the way!

Walking The West Highland Way in Five Days

↔149.81 km ↗+2,948 m ↘-2,983 m ◔5 days ▲Difficult
⚑Departure from East Dunbartonshire

The West Highland Way is the most established of Scotland’s long distance walking routes. Officially opened on 6th October 1980, it celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2020. The WHW stretches 96 miles (154 Km) from Milngavie to Fort William, taking in a huge variety of scenery along the way, from countryside parks to loch-shores and open moorlands to steep mountains. This is a five stage route, staying at prebooked accomodation along the way.
