The Clyde

From source to sea, the River Clyde passes through some of southern Scotland's finest scenery. Rising in the shadow of the Lowther Hills, the country's third longest river winds through rolling Lanarkshire farmland and past historic market towns on its way to the fertile Clyde Valley and the former industrial heartlands of Scotland before it reaches the city of Glasgow and the Firth of Clyde. There is no better way to discover the wildlife, architecture and history of this area of Scotland than to walk. Whatever your ability - walking at high or low level, following tough terrain or level paths - the 25 routes in this guide offer something for everyone.
