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 circular route in Scotland. Covering over 150km with moderate elevation changes, it crosses the westernmost (as its name suggests) and southernmost (so to speak) parts of the Highlands.
A superb hike, characterised by the diversity of the landscapes, the ever-present water (lakes, rivers, torrents, waterfalls… and rain), and the rugged beauty of the terrain. Last but not least, you’re sure to meet some very friendly people along the way!

Departure from Stirling
This massive and unique rocky outcrop seems to appear out of nowhere on an otherwise grassy hillside. Situated at an elevation of 300m (984 ft), the 10m high rocks have a narrow passageway through the middle, formed during the Ice Age.
