I discovered a beautiful mountain biking route from Bearsden (or Milngavie) in East Dunbartonshire via three reservoirs, Jaw, Kilmannan and Burncrooks.

The 37km (23 miles) circuit makes use of the Clyde Coastal Path, the John Muir Way and the West Highland Way and offers an almost entirely off-road route.

There is around 625m of ascent and I took my time to enjoy the good weather and views on this cycling adventure. See the video over view below.
