A remarkable route from Forth to Clyde, Edinburgh to Glasgow, mostly traffic-free along a succession of railway and riverside paths. 

Part of the route follows the Bathgate/Airdrie railway, reopened in 2010 with a cycleway along the side. In Glasgow, NCN 75 is a riverside path along the wide River Clyde.

More railway paths take it back to the Firth of Clyde at Gourock, where you can take a ferry for an on-road continuation to Tarbert and Loch Fyne.
