On our May walk to the aqueduct
Meeting point
Meet on Queen Margaret Bridge at the junction with Queen Margaret Road at 2pm, opposite our notice board.
About the walk
The walk is 6.4 km (4 miles) and involves 70 metres of climb over the entire walk.
Route in detail
Queen Margaret Drive, Kelvinside Avenue, cross Maryhill Road at the Fire Station and either go to the canal towpath from there or continue along Maryhill Road to North Park St and join the canal towpath there.
We go along the towpath to Claypits Bridge and cross it then turn east to the Scottish Canals HQ. From there, we pass in front of the Whisky Bond and National Theatre of Scotland and go straight on to Craighall Road.
We cross Craighall Road and enter Borron St and follow it round the foot of the hill, then turn right into Harvy St which takes us on to Dundas Hill.
For the return, we descend via Vintner St to North Canal Bank, then head west to Speirs Wharf. From there we descend the steps or the path and turn right at Civic House and cross the footbridge over Garscube Road.
We follow the path past Abercorn School, then through Braid Square and cross St George's Road. We go down North Woodside Road, cross Maryhill Road and continue to Mount St, where we turn right and continue to Raeberry St. We turn left and, at the mini-roundabout go to Striven Gardens and then via Doune Gardens, Doune Quadrant and Queen Margaret Road and back to our start.
