Craigallian Loch

Highlight • Historical Site

On the path beside Craigallian Lock is a commemorative plaque regarding the Craigallian Fire, which was a legendary place which spawned a number of climbing communities in the area, and had great resonance for the local young population in the Great Depression of the 1930s.

The 'Fire Sitters' founded mountaineering clubs such as the Creagh Dhu, Lomond and Ptarmigan clubs, and emboldened the folk who went on to open up Scotland to all.

The text reads:
"Here burned the Craigallian Fire.
During the depression of the 1930s
it was a beacon of companionship
and hope for young unemployed people
who came from Glasgow and Clydebank
seeking adventure in Scotland's wild
places. Their pioneering spirit helped to
make the Scottish countryside free for
all to roam."

Lovely route, with a nice mix of surfaces (over 50% unpaved).

*Only bit to watch out for is the farm track on the north side of the Endrick Water. It's been recently churned up from farm vehicles so prepare for lots of mud. It is a very short section relative to the whole route and avoids a lot of road.
