From the foot of Loch Lomond, at Balloch, this traffic-free route runs parallel to the A82 with superb island views. The halfway point is marked by the historic village of Luss where there’s a good visitor centre and a range of comfy coffee shops. As you progress up the loch you’ll notice how it narrows and is overlooked by the Munros, Ben Lomond and Ben Vorlich. Cycle highlights include the stretches of old road by the loch shore at Rubha Mór.

There are regular trains from Glasgow to Balloch. On the return journey it’s possible to catch a train from the Arrochar & Tarbet station for Glasgow (limited service); change at Dumbarton Central to return to Balloch. Cycle booking required.

Enjoy an easy cycle from Bowling to Dumbarton with views of the Clyde, before a visit to Dumbarton Castle. This stronghold, where Mary Queen of Scots hid as a child, has the longest recorded history of any British castle and dates back to 450 AD.

Continue to follow the River Leven, which powered a host of leading edge industrial textile mills in the 18th and 19th centuries. Once you see moored boats you’re near the journey’s end at Balloch. This route can be easily shortened as it runs close to several train stations.

This is a marvellous route from the centre of Glasgow, which follows the River Clyde and the Forth & Clyde Canal for effortless cycling.

Start from Bell’s Bridge where National Routes 7 and 75 cross the Clyde. Shiny modern buildings, which include the Glasgow Science Centre, give the area a futuristic look.

Further on, the Glasgow Harbour area is being redeveloped - follow the diversion signs. When the redevelopment is complete National Route 7 will run alongside the river. At Clydebank the route joins the Forth & Clyde Canal and then passes under the Erskine Bridge before ending at Bowling where the Canal flows into the River Clyde. This route can be easily shortened as it runs close to several train stations.

For an exceptionally easy city ride, follow the River Clyde east from Bell’s Bridge on Route 75. Within minutes you’ll be cycling through leafy Glasgow Green where the People’s Palace is worth a detour for a coffee in a hot-house.

The path then winds along the tree-lined banks of the River Clyde for about five miles. After passing under the new M74 and Cambuslang Road, cross the Clyde near Carmyle and continue on traffic-free paths and quiet roads to reach Uddingston. From Uddingston you can catch a train back to the city (or from any other stations on or near the route).

Cyclist on the new path between Airdrie and Bathgate

Category: Urban and rural, canal towpath, railway path, short on-road sections

Distance: 11 miles/18 kilometres Time: 1 hour 35 minutes Gradient: Flat after initial gradual climbSurface: Tarmac

Start from Bargeddie station and follow the new alignment of Route 75 along the tree-lined towpath of the Monklands Canal. The canal disappears underground as it enters Coatbridge – look out for the ‘plug-hole’ sculpture. You will pass near Coatbridge Central station and onto Ellis Street. The route weaves its way eastwards on railway path and on some minor roads to Airdrie. The route used to follow a path along the old Airdrie to Bathgate Junction Railway line (built to supply the important 19th century iron and steel works at Monklands and closed in the 1980s). However, the path was closed in 2008 to allow the railway line to be reopened!

A replacement path has been constructed by Network Rail. The last section between Drumgelloch and Plains is due to open in 2012 and will be on a shared-use pavement alongside the A89. East of Plains, most of the new route is on excellent tarmac path alongside the railway, with a short on-road section through Caldercruix. It takes you through open countryside to reach pretty Hillend Reservoir, which is ideal for a picnic. Either retrace your route or catch a train from Caldercruix to Glasgow or Edinburgh. You also have the option of continuing to Bathgate (see map 6).

Explore Scotland’s central plateau on National Route 75. Like the route from Airdrie on map 5, this section used to be on a path along the disused Airdrie to Bathgate Junction Railway line. With the reopening of the railway in December 2010, a new, high quality tarmac path has been built which runs all the way to Bathgate. It is traffic-free apart from short sections on residential roads through Blackridge and as you come into Bathgate. Take care where the route crosses roads. The path passes over open country with the sculpture trail along the way reflecting the rich industrial and railway heritage of the area. The flat and safe terrain makes it ideal for all the family. You can catch a train to Edinburgh or to Glasgow and Helensburgh at any of the stations along the route.

Sustrans will be working with the local authorities over the next few years to make the route even better, including full signing, planting, seating and interpretation.

Kelvingrove to Port Dundas 7

For cyclists this scenic route is the ultimate way to see a quieter side of Glasgow. Start from the fabulous Kelvingrove Art Gallery to follow the River Kelvin walk and cycleway (signed) upstream through Kelvingrove Park. Continue for 2.5 miles and take a ramp on the right, signed Forth & Clyde Canal.

Cycle uphill by the Maryhill flight of locks and follow the towpath to Port Dundas for a stress-free ride. Enjoy wide ranging views over the city before reaching Speirs Wharf. From there, either retrace your route or take the zig-zag path down from the end of the canal, turn left onto the distinctive red route and follow the signs into the centre of Glasgow.

Escape from the city on this tree and flower-lined path and head towards the dramatic Campsie Fells. From Lenzie station, turn left and take the first right onto Garngaber Avenue. Continue along the road for 800 yards or so and turn left onto the signed Strathkelvin Railway Path. (If you want to take the railway path south to Moodiesburn, continue through the traffic lights and turn right onto the path.) Heading north towards Kirkintilloch take the left fork in the path to reach the B757. Turn right and follow the road for a short distance (or use the paths through the park) and turn left into Marina Way. Turn right, left and left again to reach Southbank Marina, where you cross the canal on a spectacular prow-shaped bridge. Head east on the canal towpath, cross over Townhead road and after approximately 500 yards follow the signs to the Strathkelvin Way. Take care negotiating the roundabout just before you rejoin the path.Continue by Milton of Campsie where the path turns west and runs parallel to the volcanically formed Campsie Hills before ending by the Kirkhouse Inn in Strathblane. You can retrace your steps or follow minor roads to Milngavie and join the Kelvin Way (starts near the railway station) back to Glasgow.

NoteThe Kelvin Way from Milngavie to Maryhill is quite rough in parts.

Bowling to Kirkintilloch 9

Category: Urban, canal towpath Distance: 16 miles/26 kilometres Time: 2 hours 20 minutes Gradient: FlatSurface: Tarmac, whin dust

Set sail on the world’s first sea to sea ship canal! The Forth & Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 allowing vessels to cross Scotland from the Clyde to the Forth at Grangemouth. The canal empties into the Clyde at the Bowling Basin where this excellent route starts (Bowling train station is nearby - see map 3).

Cycle through Clydebank, where National Route 7 leaves the canal, and follow the towpath effortlessly through Glasgow city. There are plenty of rail options to shorten the journey or you can continue through open countryside to Kirkintilloch (see map 8 for Lenzie rail connection).

Kirkintilloch to Falkirk 10

Cycle a delightful section of the Forth & Clyde Canal east of Kirkintilloch. There’s plenty to see en route and in the warmer months it’s a wildlife haven. An optional start is from Lenzie train station (see map 8).

Near Falkirk, the striking 35-metre high Falkirk Wheel links the Forth & Clyde with the Union Canal via a rotating caisson. Boat rides are available and there’s a visitor centre and café. Half a mile to the west of the Wheel and linked to it by footpaths, the Roman-built Antonine Wall can be visited at Rough Castle. Cycle uphill past the Wheel, through the tunnel to the Union Canal and continue to the signed Falkirk High station, where you can catch trains to Edinburgh or Glasgow.

Cycle to Paisley for a great day out! From Glasgow cross the Clyde on Bell’s Bridge, by the huge Finnieston Crane, to follow on-road and traffic-free cycle paths into Pollok Park.

In this large city park you can visit the Burrell Collection with its extensive art and curios collection and excellent café. Also open to the public is the 18th century Pollok House, which has art works by El Greco and Murillo. Most of the remainder of the route to Paisley Canal station follows pleasant riverside paths by the White Cart Water. Crookston Castle and Paisley Abbey are also worth a visit.

This section forms part of the Lochs and Glens Cycle Route, which runs from Carlisle to Inverness on National Route 7. Start from the platform of Paisley Canal station and at the path junction near Johnstone follow National Route 7 south on an idyllic old railway line that passes no less than three lochs.

At Castle Semple Loch there’s a visitor centre and café. Further along it’s worth the short detour on a purpose built cycle path to an RSPB centre for waterfowl viewing. Lochwinnoch train station is nearby if you want to shorten the ride. Otherwise continue on National Route 7 to Kilbirnie, which is close to Glengarnock station.

Category: Mainly rural, 25% traffic-free cycle path, 75% on-roadDistance: 12 miles/20 kilometres Time: 1 hour 50 minutes Gradient: Undulating to Kilwinning then flat Surface: Tarmac

An enjoyable, mainly on-road section, which forms part of National Route 7. From Kilbirnie the route passes close to Glengarnock station before following a relatively quiet road for 7 miles through the rural Garnock valley to reach Kilwinning, where the route becomes traffic-free again.

Kilwinning Abbey makes a visit to this town worthwhile. Dating from 1187, the abbey played an important part in Scotland’s religious life for 400 years.

Continue on Route 7, passing a turn off for Route 73 to Ardrossan (see map 16) and the New Town Trail – a 12 mile traffic-free route around Irvine. Traffic-free paths lead easily to Irvine station, close to the Scottish Maritime Museum.

This long, open stretch by the Ayrshire coast is very enjoyable on a warm sunny day. If you’re lucky with the weather you should take the short detour signed south of Irvine for Beach Park.

After a paddle, continue south, through Shewalton Wood Wildlife Reserve, to Troon harbour. Then the route follows a great traffic-free cycle path by the railway line and Royal Troon golf course before a short on-road section leads into Ayr (train station).

Continue south on Route 7. Two link paths provide a pleasant detour to Alloway and the Robert Burns National Heritage Park.

This route gives quality cycling by a beautiful and open stretch of coast. From the outskirts of West Kilbride a cyclepath runs parallel to the A78 with stunning views of Arran’s ‘sleeping giant’ profile. It’s possible to walk or cycle from West Kilbride train station to the start.

After Ardrossan, follow National Route 73, passing golden beaches before heading inland, with some road sections, to join Route 7. Then go south for Irvine (train station); or north for Kilwinning (train station). To continue on Route 73 to Kilmarnock, see map 17.

Enjoy a blissfully flat and almost entirely traffic-free cycle to Kilmarnock. This section follows Route 73, which is signed off Route 7 where it crosses the River Irvine.

Cycle by the river to Dreghorn where John Boyd Dunlop, inventor of the pneumatic tyre, was born in 1840. Thanks to him cycling is a cushioned affair compared to the prototypes of yesteryear. Continue through open country on the old railway path and follow the signs into Kilmarnock where there’s a train station, with links to the north and south.
