Milngavie (pronounced "Mull-guy") is where Scotland's best-known long-distance trail begins, not ends — and the town's own history runs well beyond the trailhead.
A granite obelisk marks the start of a 96-mile walk
In the centre of Milngavie, a granite obelisk marks the official starting point of the West Highland Way, Scotland's first officially designated long-distance footpath. From here the route runs 96 miles north through Glen Coe and along Loch Lomond to finish in Fort William, and thousands of walkers pass the same spot every year to begin it.
A reservoir opened by Queen Victoria
Milngavie's other claim to fame sits just outside town: in 1859 Queen Victoria opened the Milngavie reservoir complex, formed of the Craigmaddie and Mugdock reservoirs, which still supplies much of Glasgow's drinking water today.
