Overview

A linear walk from Milngavie to Glasgow following the routes of the Allander Water and the River Kelvin.

Narrow paths at first as we walk alongside the Allander Water, but widening out after around the 5km point.  The route takes us through Maryhill Park after which we cross the main dual carriageway and then follow the River Kelvin all the way to Kelvingrove Park and eventually Charing Cross Station.
