A walk along the Forth and Clyde Canal
Speirs Wharf, Port Dundas, to Maryhill

Follow the towpath from the old grain mills at Speirs Wharf out through north Glasgow to the flight of locks and the Kelvin Aqueduct at Maryhill.
Why it's a good date: Scottish Canals welcomes dogs on the towpath as long as they're under control and you clean up after them. Bikes share the path, so a short lead helps. It's flat, quiet and greener than you'd expect, with narrowboats at the start and wide views from the locks.

Walk the River Kelvin up through Kelvingrove Park to Kelvinbridge, then settle in at Inn Deep, a craft beer bar in the arches under the bridge, with tables by the water.
Why it's a good date: Inn Deep gives the dogs that drink there their own page on its website, and the walkway is park path, so dogs are fine on a short lead or close at heel. The riverside tables are the ones to get.
