| Comment | The Forth & Clyde canal gets bad press because it runs through some dodgy areas in Glasgow. You certainly wouldn't want to hang around the Drumchapel or Maryhill parts at night.
But once it leaves Clydebank, it becomes a really nice country walk - especially in the summer. It goes all the way through Kilpatrick and up towards Bowling.
There's a small nature trail in Kilpatrick, then you walk underneath the Eskine Bridge, which looks majestic as fuck from far below. Then there's a basin at Bowling with lots of boats tied up, and the canal empties into the Clyde.
Just beyond the Bowling basin, there's the "boat graveyard". Loads of boats marooned in the mud, rotting away. Great to take photos of when the tide is low. |
