    Mountain biking

    Balgray was built between 1860 and 1865, occupying two small valleys. It forms part of a scheme instituted by the Gorbals Gravitation Water Company in 1846 to supply the southern districts of the city with 15,229,400 litres (3,350,000 gallons) per day of drinking water.

    Hiking

    Balgray Reservoir was created between 1860 & 1865 to provide water for the surrounding area.
    Today it's managed by Scottish Water but no longer supplies drinking water. It's an important habitat for local wildlife and a nice place to walk.
