Unofficial Cycle Routes - Stirling to Callander
This route isn't strictly in the Glasgow area, but has been included for reference, since it allows people from Glasgow to take their bikes on the train to Stirling, and cycle the not unreasonable distance to Callander, rather than drive all the way there. Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 765 will eventually link Stirling with Callander, using the trackbed of the disused Dunblane to Callander railway line. However, the route described below can be used at present.
