Duncolm and the Slacks, Old Kilpatrick:

The steep grassy dome of Duncolm rises above the moors as the highest point of the Kilpatrick Hills. Although close to Glasgow it feels like a wild place and is a popular objective. This route from Old Kilpatrick is easily reached by public transport; the return given is via the Slacks which has superb views over the city.

Tarmac lane and good track to Loch Humphrey. The rest of the walk is on grassy paths with many boggy patches.

Eventually the Clyde is left behind as the track leads up, passing through a gate, heading into the moorland heart of the Kilpatrack Hills. Loch Humphrey comes into view, and the track descends steadily as it continues towards it. Follow the main track as it curves right, ignoring branches off to the left. The track crosses the outflow below the low earth dam; ignore a track branching right and keep ahead. Loch Humphrey is popular with fishermen.

Further on is a second dome-summit - this time Middle Duncolm. The path divides in two, with the right branch heading over Middle Duncolm and steeply down the far side, and the left branch bypassing it by skirting the base on the NW side; the two paths then rejoin as the main summit of Duncolm now rises ahead.
