Overview

Join Glasgow Young Walkers on the first section of the West Highland Way is something of a prelude through the landscapes of the Lowlands. The urban landscape is left behind at Milngavie as the route passes lochs and woodland before dropping into Strathblane in the shadow of the Campsie Fells.

We will stop for a lunch break at the Beech Tree Inn, approx 7 miles into the walk. Due to the size of the group, bringing a packed lunch is advised.

Please note that this is walk is one-way, public transport is advised.
