Given the two negative reviews plus a second version with a gpx file which makes no sense, I chose to walk from Glasgow to Strathblane and then to Milngavie on the Kelvin Walkway. It is a lovely walk although a digital map will be required; some of the path is overgrown but not too hectic for the moment; and the signposting at beginning and end is lacking. Walked as part of National Parks Challenge 2026....

Taking a left from the village cross, the route took us along the main road until we reached Valleyfield, where a path leads down to the Glazert river and the Strathkelvin Railway Path. The route along the railway path continues for a mile or so, crossing a main road but with no obstructions, the quality of this part of the path is excellent and it continues on to Lennoxtown where there are local shops and services. From here the Mil-Mil route follows a road locally known as "the Staney Brae" or "Roun the Moon" the first part of this section of path is a good walking surface of compacted hardcore used for access to local small holdings. It links to Station Road, a single track tarmac road used for access to local farms and the Lennox Forest. The forestry paths continue for miles but the Mil-Mil Route suggests taking a left (East 259858 North 676664) this is on old path once used to access lime kilns but the path is overgrown, there are bushes obstructing access, fallen trees and boggy areas where the water was over three inches deep and we were sinking further into the bog. This path runs almost parallel to the lime kiln path mapped on the Mil-Mil route and joins the Mil-Mil Route slightly further down. The next section of the Mil-Mil route is compacted hardcore designed for vehicle access for local farms and small holdings....

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....

A 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...

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....
