Welcome to my stomping ground, I live on the south of Loch Lomond Arrochar isn’t what it used to be, they had a chippy ran by a woman from Surrey, a little newsagent for treats, a burger van thing and a manned petrol station You sound German/Dutch

Drumchapel was a village at one time too.

Really interesting. That said, so many towns and cities throughout the UK are collections of villages that eventually merged into one. They reckon London is like that. What's unique about this one is it retains a village feel.

You should check out Glasgow's forgotten village - Grahamston. You might get some interesting material for your vlog.

Eilann Garbh. The rough island. Ee-lann gar-iv.

Strange accent

I cycle up to Carmunnock a lot to do some loops of nice lanes around the farms. I did wonder if you were on an e bike when you said 23 mins and were standing in the Gorbals! It's a lovely village. If you fancied going back again to do more exploring, take the train to Thorntonhall and cycle to Carmunnock, it's 2 miles away. It would involve cycling on quiet lanes mostly and 1 short bit on a busier road. Thorntonhall is a nice sleepy village too albeit it comes under South Lanarkshire.

Thanks

Google read my mind, I was just thinking of having a stroll round Carmunnock tomorrow.

If you had walked in that gate at number six you would have seen a seating area of the mitchell restaurant.

Milngavie is worth checking out some nice cycling around Murdock park, water works etc

Speak up can hardly hear you 😮

Scotland's full of villages n Edinburgh's the capital not Glasgow

Yet another pavement cyclist - GET ONTO ROAD WHERE YOU BELONG, AND STAY THERE!!!

Yep, as soon as you said Kings Park, I knew you'd confused Carnunnock Rd with Carmunnock. "Hope it's not hilly" it's the bloody biggest hill there is!.

Westerton in east Dunbartonshire has a village. It’s small but still a village

I used to live in Camborne, Cornwall and they have an area called The Glebe - it's not far from the Parish Church. I have ancestors from Renfrew so enjoy videos of the area - thank you.

Ah Carmunnock.Im 2 miles away from it in East Kilbride.Need to drive if you live there or theres no point

I used to Nick cars from castlemilk and burn them out up there when I was a nipper. Also took the girls up to Cathkin braes for the bare bum boxing. Magic. Takes me back……..

I've never been to Carmunnock but it looks nice! I was thinking that Westerton might be included as a village within Glasgow, but I've just double-checked and it's literally just on Glasgow's city limits and falls under Bearsden instead.

Baillieston, at the east end of Glasgow used to be a village too. Originally part of Lanark District it was brought into Glasgow during boundary changes in 1975. Now it's more like a small town.

Super share! That looked wonderful. The standard class looks fine and a real deal. They have thought about storage, so well-done the designers. I'm beginning to suspect that oven cabins are a standard feature of sleepers since all my experiences of our Caledonian Sleeper have been like that. There was always a dial or sometime you could twiddle that did nothing. 🙂We'll also now probably (I haven't had the pleasure of trying the re-vamped CS yet) find it'll be three or four times the price and you'll get a cellophane muffin with a coffee in a bag. I hope someone will set me right on that. I've said to my wife we ought to get ourselves a European Railcard and give that a try. I wonder if they do a senior citizens discount 😄

Its nearly a straight road 😂 Althoughbyou did take the cycling scenic route. I advise going through the MTB park at the top of castkemilk do that comebout at the top then turn right then right again at the bottom of the hill.

Watch a lot of travel vlogs and saw the inaugural run of these pod type sleeper trains, still prefer a full cabin to be honest, great post guys,

The good thing about Tim (the owner of whetherspoons) is he keeps iconic buildings from being demolished to make way for some glass monstrosity, another nice post funnily enough paisley was the first town I stayed at on holiday in Scotland must be 60 years ago

Had to go and do a construction contract in Greenock, December if it wasn’t raining it was snowing couldn’t get any more clothes on me and still move, guys were coming out of the pub at closing time and shouting get yersel hame, wish I could have as I am from Ireland the northern bit and having to work so late because others had made such a mess of it and I’d to sort it out before the site shut down for hogmany, ah happy memories of Greenock, not too bad as I’ve been back quite a few times on holiday and always stop off especially to take in the views of the Clyde 😊

I was interested to know whether your bike was still where you left it 😊, love Glasgow and hopefully we’ll visit soon hi from a damp Ireland

Plenty wildlife in Toryglen. 🤣

I live In East Kilbride so know Carmunnock well. Passed through it many times. The 31 used to be handy as it went from my bit to Glasgow. Was gutted when they axed the East Kilbride route even tho there was a petition and 2 MSP's involved. Walked from Cathkin Braes to Carmunnock. That was a long walk and food from Booth's before walking back to EK

my 3rd great-grandfather is from bothwell. i hope to visit someday. (a very american cliche thing to say, i know)

I went to the George Square market 2 weeks ago during the day. Very dissapointing. I went into the marquee to get a drink. A few beers on tap but only one available. There were lots of wooden benches and tables but they were all soaked! Was the cover leaking? Also, no heaters! Very cold to sit there. Everything overpriced as usual.

Why is Paisley deemed 'unpopular'? Scotland's largest town and where I live. Good to see your video highlighting the historic buildings in the town centre. Thank you! Hopefully more people will visit after watching it.

At first I misheard you and thought you were cycling to Kilmarnock in 23 minutes, an Olympian effort! (The floral clock there is good…). As it was, a lovely day out! I know of a village in Nottinghamshire which has a similar trail, but nothing like as pretty…

I went there for a job interview earlier this year. I thought it was an absolute dump! There was a Wetherspoons in the town centre but looked all boarded up. Nowhere to get a pint or a coffee. I was glad to leave.

Yes I agree it's very far from scenic until you get to the parks: when you get to Castlemilk you're almost home and dry. I videod the graveyard from the air this year. It's got some interest, like the grave of a Glasgow woman who was married to the the first (I think!) black missionary ordained in Africa . Not the most interesting place for a herirtage trail but nice to just walk around on a sunny day for an hour and get a coffee. A young friend and I got lost cycling from East Kilbride to Glasgow via Rutherglen so I sympathise! Nice watch, thank you. Have a safe, adventurous 2025. Just had a thought! Why don't you give that a try: train out out to EK and cycle back via any way you like. You too could get lost, lol! Need to be quick though since the line is closing from end January for months!

Left the Gorbals 24 years ago. It now looks like an absolutely soulless place.

Castlemilk 😂

Hello guys why don't you visit our wee village of Carfin. Near Motherwell we have the only Lourdes grotto in Britain check it out on you tube ..love the show ❤

The minute I saw that wall art the start of the video, I knew it was the Gorbals. When we were kids we would go up to Carmunnock and mingle with all the posh kids and get mad with it together. The two places you were in, The Gorbals and Carmunnock couldn't be further apart in every way possible. It's a beautiful wee village, I wonder if Jackie Bird (BBC Weather Lady) still stays up? there?

It is an educational channel. Love it. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Your Scottish accent is really starting to shine through. 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Why are you whispering, is it a sleepy village. Iain in Glasgow

If I knew you were visiting Carmunock, I would have been more than happy to give you a tour. The Social Club used to be the village school and Mitchell's restaurant was formerly the Boghead Inn. The police station is now two private houses. Some locals may remember the two policemen Wattie and Purdie. The houses opposite Low Green used to be the Green Garage. Lovely wee village.

There's lots of villages in Scotland cumbernauld has two there are villages everywhere

Have you or Ian ever considered getting ebikes ? Initially expensive but a great way to get around the city.

I hadn't heard of Carmunnock but it looks a pleasant place to live.

if there is a low green and a high green, where is the one inbetween

DANGER STRANGER THATS WHAT VILLAGERS THINK.

I would hardly call waxy o’connors an iconic Glasgow pub. It was built from new after the original building was demolished in the 1990’s, after a devastating fire.
