Over lockdown, I started to explore my local area far more than I have ever done in the past 20 years. I came across a few heritage sites that led me to the history books and websites to unearth the stories behind various places. This eight mile return route follows the West Highland Way, with short detours, and is ideal for a cycle outing or a walk.
Highlight locations include the Carbeth lido, the Carbeth huts, Carbeth loch and the Craigallian Fire memorial.
