Overview

Meet at Glasgow Queen Street Station in time for the 1015 train to Croy. Return ticket to Croy.

Walk from Croy station to Croy Hill, going over the hill following the Antonine Wall which has a reasonably steep but good grassy path up, and then down to the canal to Auchinstarry Marina. From there we will go along the River Kelvin walkway to Twechar and the Roman Hill Fort of Barr Hill.

Possibly toilets at Auchinstarry Marina.
