[edit] Edinburgh to Glasgow
The route begins in Leith, Edinburgh at the north-eastern terminus of the Water of Leith until Warriston, then runs southward in Edinburgh City Centre before joining with the eastern terminus of the Union Canal at Fountainbridge. Just after the viaduct at Slateford, the route returns to the Water of Leith until its south-western terminus at Balerno. Thereafter it passes through Kirknewton, East Calder, Almondell Country Park, Mid Calder, Livingston, Bathgate and Armadale.
[edit] Glasgow to Gourock
The route runs along the north of the clyde to the SECC, where it joins NCR 7 through Paisley to Johnstone. It then branches west, following a disued railway track through Bridge of Weir and Kilmacolm to Port Glasgow. After a short residential section, it rejoins the disused railway in an industrial estate, which it follows to Greenock. It then leads to the sea front, and along to Gourock.
