Residents, commuters and visitors are being invited to explore East Dunbartonshire while taking strides towards health and fitness.
A new Walking & Cycling Map has been printed by the Council, which includes:
- A fold-out map with 17 local routes of varying distances across East Dunbartonshire - most of them family friendly and using the off-road network
- Safety checks before you set out
- Information on cycle parking and local walking groups
- Top tips
- Scottish Outdoor Access Code
- Contact details for the Council and other organisations (including public transport providers).
Key buildings and places to visit are also highlighted – including Roman remains, Lenzie Moss, the Auld Wives’ Lifts and Mugdock Country Park.
The aim is to encourage people to get active, whether for work or pleasure.
The map also makes it easier to plan everyday journeys – whether you’re travelling to work, shops, leisure centres, Community Hubs, libraries, cultural venues or accessing local facilities.
Copies of the map are available from Community Hubs, libraries, cycle shops, community centres and leisure centres, as well as Kirkintilloch Town Hall, Kilmardinny House, Auld Kirk Museum, Lillie Art Gallery, Twechar Healthy Living & Enterprise Centre, and Council offices at Southbank Marina and Broomhill.

Councillor Billy Hendry, Convener of Place, Neighbourhood & Corporate Assets, said, "The previous East Dunbartonshire Cycle Map was incredibly successful, with 8,000 copies distributed since April 2018.
"The new-look Walking & Cycling Map incorporates a range of useful feedback from people across our 
communities. It really is an invaluable resource and will help people to go places – whether they live locally or are visiting."
The Council has produced 6,000 copies of the new map, with support from the Smarter Choices, Smarter Places programme - tying in with the ongoing Healthy Habits campaign.
The next phase of the project will include accompanying signage along the local routes and 'interpretation boards' in certain locations.
