Best walks to or from Paisley Gilmour Street

Paisley Gilmour Street Station to Barrhead Station

Follows good paths all the way between the two town centres and sticking largely to the vehicular route with one quieter stretch beside Thornley Dam. Some exposed sections can be tough in strong wind.

Easy: 6km, moderate ascents.

Johnstone Station to Paisley Gilmour Street Station

particularly good views north to Ben Lomond. Follows the main road for most of its length and so fairly noisy with many side roads to cross. There are good views and one high point near Elderslie Golf Course; an adjacent cycle path offers a quieter but lonelier alternative.

Easy: 5km, moderate ascents.
