Overview

This classic circuit climbs over moorland, dotted with reservoirs, before heading along the Greenock Cut - a historic aqueduct was built in the 1820s which supplied water from Loch Thom to Greenock.

The Greenock Cut is an aqueduct, that used to provide water for Port Glasgow and Greenock. The route gives stunning views over the Clyde estuary towards the Highlands
