This is now the beginnings of the West Highland Way long distance path to Fort William 95 miles away.

Pond beside Milngavie Library
The pond is in fact a dam for the former Ellangowan paper mill, which used to be just to the south of here.
There is a small fountain bubbling up towards the southern end of the pond. A small floating artificial island is in the middle. This was installed especially in late March for the pair of mute swans to nest on. It replaced a previous one which was deteriorating and was no longer suitable. Also on the water are some tufted ducks, and there are several mallard beside the water's edge.
