East Dunbartonshire | Clachan of Campsie | Waterfalls | ★★★★

In bygone years a path used to snake up the Campsie Glen gorge, passing a succession of spectacular waterfalls beneath imposing rock walls. Known as Jacob’s Ladder, it attracted adventure-seeking Glaswegians in large numbers before falling into disrepair later in the 20th century, with its decline into obscurity hastened by rockfalls. The entire route can no longer safely be walked in its entirety, but a walk (or scramble, depending on how far you go) into the gorge from each end is still well worth it. A visitor hub at Clachan of Campsie acts as the gateway for the lower section of rapids, while a higher car park on Crow Road is reached by a winding, 3-mile drive and provides access to the waterfalls in the upper part of the glen, as well as a popular route to Cort-ma Law. A steep but straightforward, 300 metre-long footpath also links both car parks directly, staying well clear of the glen itself. The waterfalls are spectacular following wet weather, but there is a lot of steep and slippery ground along with unprotected drops – so great care is required if exploring beyond the first, most accessible (and unfortunately, most litter-strewn) falls in both locations (more info below). The photos below are ordered from bottom to top, i.e. in an upstream direction.
