This route starts at Strathblane, and heads up to Mugdock, before descending through the Baldernock area to Balmore, then crosses the River Kelvin to join the Forth & Clyde Canal at Cadder for the rest of the way to Kirkintilloch or Bishopbriggs. The route shares much of the way with the unofficial cycle route from Milngavie. This route could be used for a circular journey from Kirkintilloch to Strathblane and back, by using the Strathkelvin Railway Path in one direction.
