Kelvin Walkway
E Dunbarton, Glasgow
A routeway which extends the West Highland Way south to the centre of Glasgow, the Kelvin Walkway connects Milngavie (East Dunbartonshire) with the Glasgow Heliport on the north bank of the River Clyde, where it can be linked to the longer Clyde Walkway that continues south from the city.
The Kelvin Walkway follow the river banks south from Milngavie on a route once used by Highland drovers bringing their cattle to market. The route is marked throughout its length and follows, as much as possible, the three watercourses of the Allender, Kelvin and Clyde, to form a 'green link' from the countryside to the many parks, museums, art galleries and places of historic and cultural interest.
The walkway follows the Allander Water for 2 miles (3 km) southeast from Milngavie to join the River Kelvin. The route then turns southwest leaving the Kelvin to strike south through Summerston. Joining the river again just north of Maryhill, the Walkway proceeds south through Kelvinside, Kelvingrove Park and Yorkhill to reach the Clyde.
The Trailblazer West Highland Way guide includes this Walkway between the city-centre and the official start of the West Highland Way.
