The Forth & Clyde Canal links the Irish Sea with the North Sea running from Bowling on the Clyde Estuary, to Grangemouth and the magnificent Kelpies on the Firth of Forth, providing a unique and tranquil path through some of Scotland’s most densely populated areas.
The Union Canal is bookended by two great modern developments. Linking the Union Canal to the Forth & Clyde Canal at its western end is The Falkirk Wheel, the world’s only rotating boat lift. Then at Edinburgh, the canal terminus, the new Edinburgh Quay development is taking shape as a thriving canal centre.
This tourist map is at 1:50000 with detailed town plans of Bowling, Glasgow, Kirkintilloch, Kilsyth and Auchinstarry, the area around the Falkirk Wheel,
