Members of the public are being urged to be careful after giant hogweed was spotted close to a walkway on the banks of the River Clyde and River Kelvin.
A concerned local spotted the weed while using the cycle paths along the water over the weekend. The hogweed is very dangerous to humans with its sap causing life-changing burns, blisters, and scarring.
The invasive weed can grow several metres in height and has been described as looking like a giant parsley stalk. Due to the bristling nature of the sap and its hairs, it's easy for people to brush up against giant hogweed without realising.
