I'm not a Glasgow native so am a bit clueless on this, but was hoping to go for a walk somewhere in the surrounding area. I'm thinking hills and water but nothing too strenuous and mountain-y. Anyone got any hidden gems they like to frequent for a few hours?
NB: not for dogging  |

"walk down by the kelvin and the botanics is nice."
it is but I'm very familiar with the area, I was hoping for something a little further afield and new! |

Go onto walkhighlands website, there's loads of walks within a half hour drive of Glasgow. I was up the whangie this morning. Very muddy but still enjoyed it |

Walk down to the Clyde and pick a direction to follow, west end or Southside
Personally enjoy going Southside, through the Glasgow green and along towards shawfield, following the river the whole way

"Dumgoyne just north of Glasgow (the bump st the end of the Campsies). Not too strenuous and there's a good place to eat/ drink when you descend.
It also has a distillery to visit."
You beat me to it. |

On the south side of the city,set in 360 acres of natural parkland, in the heart of Pollok Country Park, you have the award winning building housing a unique collection. Plus Pollok House, an elegant country house, well worth a look, tearoom in the basement. Walks all over the place plus the River White Cart. |

Down and around the kelvin as one of the lads above has suggested is good, Youl like it. There's also the canal going from anniesland all the way to Helensburgh, you do pass some rough bits but the majority is lovely, actually a really good route for biking.
Mugdock park is a little out but that's also great too |

Pollok Park, southside of Glasgow, entrance best by Shawlands is lovely for a walk.
join the rest for the people in walks to the Burrell Collection or Go to Pollok House Instead and venture a bit further either side to the stables or the watermill and beyond, enough to keep you busy for the whole day
