A [[granite]] [[obelisk]] is located a short distance from [[Milngavie railway station]]. Heading north, the path passes [[Mugdock Castle]] and [[Mugdock Country Park]] before emerging into open countryside, and the [[Campsie Fells]] can be seen.<ref name=wh-1>{{cite web|url=https://www.walkhighlands.co.uk/lochlomond/milngavie-drymen.shtml|title=West Highland Way 1: Milngavie to Drymen|publisher=Walk Highlands|access-date=2018-09-26}}</ref> By the west side of Craigallian loch the path passes a small monument to commemorate The Craigallian Fire, an important historical symbol for outdoor activities in Scotland.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.strathblanefield.org.uk/Craigallian%20Fire/Index.htm|title=The Craigallian Fire Memorial site.htm}}</ref> As the Way approaches the Campsies by the piece of ground known as Tinkers Loan, there is an opportunity to explore adjacent hills such as [[Dumgoyne]] ([[British national grid reference system|grid reference]] {{gbmappingsmall|NS541837}}; {{cvt|427|m|disp=or}}) or the small but heavily wooded Dumgoyach ({{gbmappingsmall|NS531810}}; {{cvt|108|m|disp=or}}).
