Cycled along Kelvin walkway from Kelvingrove art gallery, past the Botanic Gardens and on to the Forth and Clyde canal at Lock 25. Followed the canal eastwards, before taking the Speirs wharf spur. Lot of renovation and renewal along this stretch, with new housing and warehouse conversions creating a fairly upmarket look, contrasting with some of the wasteground and vacant areas nearby. More developments are proposed with the building of New Rotterdam due to get underway soon. Returned to Kelvingrove via Woodside and the Great Western Road, taking in Park Circus. The whole route makes an excellent transect of the varied architecture and urban/industrial change in this area of Glasgow.
Check out the Geograph website for some good photos of this area.
