Directions

  1. Begin from the south of the Strathclyde Loch and follow the route clockwise along the footpath next to the shore.
  2. Follow the path, passing structures representing the various rowing events that have taken place here (including the Commonwealth Rowing Championships in 2007, and the National Rowing Championships in July 2010).
  3. Venture past M&Ds Theme Park on your left and follow the footpath running adjacent to the loch.
