Gryffe Valley Way
We are interested to hear from the first people who have walked the full length of the Gryffe Valley
Way and indeed anyone who has run it (and their time).
Our next activity is to create a number of Interpretative boards along the Way including at Kilmacolm,
Bridge of Weir, the Mill Lade, Crosslee village, and Craigends Estate. We are writing to each of the
landowners to request permission. Anyone with knowledge of the history of these places is invited
to contribute and any businesses willing to sponsor a board are invited to get in touch. Please email
gryffevalleyrotary@gmail.com
