Cycle symbol Right arrow
Route 755: Drymen - Strathblane - Lennoxtown - Kirkintilloch - Moodiesburn - Glenboig
The Strathkelvin Railway Path runs along the course of an old railway line past the base of the Campsies. At Kirkintilloch it connects with the Forth & Clyde Canal, and continues into North Lanarkshire to end at Glenboig. Another path links Glenboig to Gartcosh. This route will shortly be signed as Sustrans National Cycle Network Route 755. The route will later be extended beyond Strathblane to incorporate a piece of the West Highland Way to meet NCN 7 near Drymen.
