The Kelvin Walkway - Glasgow to Milngavie

The Kelvin Walkway extends the West Highland Way south to the centre of Glasgow, from Milngavie to Glasgow Heliport on the north bank of the River Clyde, where it can be linked to the longer Clyde Walkway that continues south from the city. The route follows, as much as possible, the three rivers of the Allander, Kelvin and Clyde, to form a 'green link' from the bustling city to the countryside.

Started the Kelvin Walkway from the city centre, adding approximately 3 miles to the route featured on WalkHighlands. Once at the Riverside Museum we had a quick look around the museum before setting off.

We stopped at Greggs on Gibson Street for a late lunch before following the River Kelvin. The path was deserted after passing Acre, it got very quiet as we reached Allander water for the last few miles to Milngavie. Got to Milngavie about half past 6 and went for a pint in the Talbot Arms.
