We are the Glasgow Ramblers. If you enjoy walking or want to give it a try come and join us.
We will enter the park at Balvicar Street, walking between the boating pond and the duck pond. After passing Camphill House, built in 1798 by Robert Thomson, cotton manufacturer, used as a museum from the 1890s until the 1980s, now flats, we will explore the Scottish Poetry Rose Garden. Opposite the glasshouse (unfortunately closed in the evenings), we can view the Langside Monument, commemorating the Battle of Langside in 1568, which was Mary, Queen of Scots’ last attempt to regain the throne. Our route will then take us across the hillside, over the site of an Iron Age camp, to the flagpole at the summit, from where (weather permitting) there will be spectacular views. We will then head down the formal steps at the grand avenue, before leaving the park at Victoria Road.
Please note that the start and finish times are an approximation.
Meet the leader at 6:20 pm at Central Station outside M&S Simply Food for the 6:35 pm Neilston train to Queens Park. Anyone wishing to meet at the starting point of the walk should contact the leader for directions.
