West Highland Way Starting Obelisk (Milngavie)

Highlight • Monument

The start of the West Highland Way is very urban, and the first section will feel more like a country park. Good paths and signs will lead you out of the town towards Loch Lomond.

Cochno Loch Causeway and Descent

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Fun little singletrack descent down to the causeway allowing you to cross Jaw Resevoir and Cochno Loch. If you're planning on heading south-north/north-south then this is by far your best way across the loch.
