Old Kilpatrick

Old Kilpatrick, a charming town with an estimated population of 4,820, rests on the north bank of the River Clyde, just three miles west of Clydebank.  The Forth and Clyde Canal runs alongside the town, adding to its scenic appeal.  Tradition claims St. Patrick was born here, lending the village its name (Scots: Auld Kilpaitrick, Gaelic: Cille Phàdraig).

Venture out to explore the photogenic Whangie rock formation in the Kilpatrick Hills, offering breathtaking views.  Lace up your boots and tackle the trails at Duncolm and the Slacks, a great destination for outdoor enthusiasts.  Immerse yourself in nature at The Saltings, a wildlife haven along the River Clyde.  Uncover the town's past with the Old Kilpatrick Heritage Trail, a network of historic sites and walking paths.  Pay your respects at the Old Kilpatrick War Memorial or visit the picturesque garden surrounding St. Patrick's Well, an ancient ruin.

While major shopping centers are absent in Old Kilpatrick itself, nearby Clydebank offers various shopping options.  For a relaxed evening, head to The Glen Lusset, a family-friendly bar and restaurant with delicious food and drinks, located right under the Erskine Bridge.   For a more vibrant nightlife scene, explore the exciting options Glasgow has to offer.
