With Christmas the time of year for partying aplenty and lots and lots of rich food and drink, getting out for a little winter walk can be a great way to clear the head and burn off some calories on Boxing Day.
Thankfully, Glasgow has a plethora of great hikes and trails that are ideal for exploring with your family and discovering some stunning winter scenery.
Great for dog walks too, there are some great options, which will get you out and boost your physical and mental health and carry on the festive fun and get you ready for the new year.

Cathkin Braes
Heading to the southside can reap rewards, with this fun walk at the top of Castlemilk, where you'll find the entrance with easy paths taking you into the country park area itself, it's not a far walk from there to the hillside and some epic views out over Glasgow.
Glennifer Braes
The 'Car Park in the Sky' as it's known to locals, is where you begin this fun walk, with not only car park offering incredible views all the way to the Kilpatrick Hills, but further along the walk itself you'll find plenty of pace for your dogs to run around in.
Pollok Park
Another reason to stay in the southside, this incredible park is filled with fun things to do including (on non-holiday days) exploring the stately Pollok House or taking a (free) trip to the Burrell Collection, but on Boxing Day it'll be the park itself, its woodland and of course the Heilan Coos you'll enjoy most.
The Necropolis
This huge cemetery is awe-inspiring and one of the UK's best-known. The final resting place of 50,000 people, including the writer of Wee Willie Winkie, there is plenty to see and do.
