Footpath beside the M77
The footpath follows the edge of The Cunyon, an area of scrubby woodland, which is designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC) by Glasgow City Council. The Cunyon was once of a much greater extent, but much of it was destroyed when the adjacent M77 motorway was constructed.

Overhead Sign Gantry at M77 Dumbreck Interchange
A typical “Glasgow-type” sign gantry at Junction 1 of the M77 (Dumbreck Interchange).
Gantries of this type were first erected as part of the construction of the Kingston Bridge and its approach roads in 1970 and they are now a familiar sight on the motorway network around Glasgow. They have the following distinctive elements:
• near and offside support legs (basically 2 rectangular hollow sections with base plates to allow connections to the foundations),
• a main frame (made up of rectangular hollow sections) - Over clad on the front and rear,
• a sub frame (made up of smaller hollow sections and welded to main frame),
• a sign face - acrylic sheets hung from the front of the sub frame over its full height,
• internal electrics - sign lighting provided through the use of several dozen fluorescent battens.
