Walks from Shettleston

An urban route mixing busier roads (the B765) with the off-road Clyde Walkway into Uddingston and avoiding a rural 60mph road with no verges. Follows the Clyde Walkway. Detours possible into Cambuslang or Newton to break the journey. Sustrans plan to reopen the Carmyle–Westburn viaduct as a walking and cycling route.

Lunch: The only facilities on the route are a small shop and a pair of pubs in Carmyle, about a third of the way along.

Walk details: Slow Ways.

A direct, mostly off-road route on paths and grass through parkland, with some single-track paths and stairs. A short and sometimes overgrown section near a petrol station at Mount Vernon.
