This is one of three heritage trails within Scotstoun. They all start and end at Heart of Scotstoun Community Centre. This trail is centred in a busy area with main roads and a well used cycle path which has cyclists, pedestrians and dog walkers. Please make sure you exercise caution at all times and where  possible use pedestrian crossings.
