⚑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!

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.

Duncarnock Fort (The Craigie) from Neilston
↔4.84 mi ↗+305 ft ↘-315 ft ◔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 The Whangie, Kilpatrick Hills

⚑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.
