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 Milngavie’s Slow Ways.

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....

At its end, a long road walk to the crossroads, where we enter Lennox Park, but there are no good nearby crossings (there are some on the junctions just over 100m north and south). Whilst Lennox Park has good tarmac paths, there are steps up to the path that leads to Milngavie station, the end point....

Access - some steps at Lennox park (Milngavie), and a steep section at Kilmardinny Loch....

wellchoughed added Milstr two, a new walk from Milngavie to Strathblane
Walk this routeA further (longer) detour beyond the farmland allowed me to pick up a forestry track which eventually linked up with the continuation of the mapped route just beyond the original cattle field. This is a fairly straightforward route (although a bit muddy in places after a night of heavy rain) but the cattle field presents an insurmountable barrier to access and I am therefore unable to recommend it...
wellchoughed
This is a simple and pleasant route which links these two population centres on the north edge of Glasgow and makes excellent use of three large green spaces along the way. After a pleasant meander through the park, the route heads through another housing estate and back into another green space, this time the grassy corridor bordering the Craigdhu Burn (with the scent of Hawthorn flowers hanging in the air when I visited in May 2022)....

This route goes through a field which often contains cows, bulls and calves. It is difficult to navigate through the field and I have lost the path on numerous occasions. This is not the route I would take to Milngavie....

The route seemed quite direct but actually walking it there were a couple of points where corners could have been cut off to make the route a bit shorter. It was easy to follow the route. There are some sections of road walking with good pavements....
