Starting from the atmospheric Buddhist Beomeosa temple, the 8.8km trail takes you through tranquil woodland past several 17th-century crumblingstone fortresses and stunning forest outlooks.
Neighbourhoods such as Parkhead and Shettleston are more desolate, with rows of once-grand Edwardian houses crumbling in picturesque decay, and empty lots and derelict shops a stone's throw from city-centre streets that boast the highest rents in Scotland.
