Help connect Gilshochill

Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.

Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.

Give a hike and help get a for every one of Gilshochill’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates

I don't think I'd reccomend this route strongly as it is not the most scenic available in the area, it continues along several busy main roads through Maryhill and mainly follows housing estates. There is no accessibility challenges, but crossing under the M80 doesn't make for the most pleasant of inner-city walks....

Starting in Milgavie, the route is quite nice at the beginning through the Rangers Training Centre walking through some nice country side. It does cross some large main roads, but the route is still accessible if you're fairly careful when crossing etc....

A fully accessible route with no steps, running along the good towpath of the Forth and Clyde Canal....

First, the route connecting Cowal and Maryhill Roads goes through an area currently undergoing building works, so there is no access here at the moment....

Walk this route

It is very easy to follow overall and the canal is a very pleasant place to walk, quiet clean and well signposted. After joining the canal, you go over the impressive bridge system and can take a short detour to the viewing platform in Stockingfield Park. After that it is an easy walk along the canal including passing the many locks at Maryhill until you reach Kelvindale....

Nice views out to the hills to the north and you at least pass some green spaces even if there is no option to walk through them....

I walked this route in reverse (Gilshochill to Kelvindale) on a wet afternoon in April 2022. At this point, the route map suggests cutting the corner to reach Cowal Road....

Canal path closed from Maryhill (Ruchill St) for major upgrades and new bridge, till July 2022. Recommended detour is quite excessive, join Maryhill Rd and come out at Sandbank Street....

The final section on Cowal Road is not pleasant, too many fast cars. I would cross Maryhill Rd at The White House and finish on the canal....
