The Nature Walk

The Nature Walk is a linear area of parkland to the west of Victoria Park and runs from Dumbarton Road in Scotstoun to the Westbrae bridge in Jordanhill. It runs behind the houses in Westland Drive on the east and behind the houses in Scotstoun, Scotstoun Leisure Centre, the plots and to the south of the railway. It can also be accessed by a short lane from the junction of Westland Drive and Danes Drive at the NW corner of the park. The area was previously a short branch railway running down to the Clyde from Jordanhill station. It had sidings for cattle exports and the pens were connected by a tramway to the docks. A passenger station - Whiteinch Victoria Park - was opened in 1897 by the North British Railway. It closed to passengers in 1951 and completely in 1967. The sidings were briefly used as a depot during the mainline electrification and since then nature has reclaimed the area.
It is a popular dog-walking route and access to the Scotstoun Leisure Centre and the Scotstoun Stadium (the famous Glasgow Warriors Rugby team)
