The most read post in 2017 surprised me, because it isn’t particularly spectacular – I also noticed that three of these monthly round-up posts made the top ten last year, so I shall take that as encouragement to keep on with them. The advice given is to use overflow parking at the Falkirk Stadium, but that’s at least a 20 minute walk from the Kelpies, so if you’ve booked a tour you might well miss it – and if there’s a football match there, presumably you can’t use it anyway.
The Forth and Clyde Canal is a canal opened in 1790, crossing central Scotland; it provided a route for the seagoing vessels of the day between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part of the Scottish Lowlands.

We have three choices – east, west or the spur that runs into the city centre. Discover the Heritage & History of the Forth & Clyde CanalDiscover a life less ordinary on the Forth & Clyde Canal Apparently it took her 6 months, which I can well believe – I’m touched that she was so generous with her time for a complete stranger.In between Christmas and New Year, we had a few nights in Aberfeldy, a small town in Perthshire, which will probably make it onto the blog – eventually. What a great way to get married.Glasgow’s book festival, Aye, Write!, has been running this month. I could almost have been in the countryside until Temple Gasometers came into view.Temple Gasworks were built in 1871 and closed in 1968, but the two large gas holders, dating from 1893 and 1900, were still being used until a few years ago.Historic Environment Scotland recently sought views on plans to schedule the structures as Category B Listed buildings.

The café is also about 15 minutes away, and when we got there just after 1pm they had no lunch left, just crisps and snacks. The underpass here is decorated with 50 Phoenix Flowers, called after the former Phoenix Park which was destroyed to create the M8 motorway above.Before leaving Cowcaddens, we took some photographs of Dundas Court, formerly An urban walk can be just as enjoyable as a country walk – I feel I learned a lot about my home city on this one.Gallivanting at home and abroad. Nearby, the 165-foot high water tower (1892) is almost all that now remains of Ruchill Infectious Diseases Hospital.Continuing along the banks, the University remained prominent and we met several swans.We passed Firhill, home of Glasgow’s other football club (i.e. Today, the site is covered in houses with a golf course on the other bank, so nothing very picturesque.

The camera only comes out when we reach Lambhill Stables.The Stables were built around 1830 when horses pulling barges were the main means of moving goods along the canal.
