The Forth and Clyde Canal in the north of Glasgow. Designed by John Smeaton and constructed between 1768 and 1790, it allowed goods and ships to move from the North Sea to the North Atlantic without having the pass through the treacherous waters along the North of Scotland. It was the world's first man-made sea-to-sea canal, making it the forerunner of canals like the Suez Canal and the Panama Canal.

Thanks to Centre-Ground on Twitter for bringing this interesting remnant from the past to my attention.

A fragment of the old Monkland Canal passing under Castle Street in Glasgow.
Designed by James Watt, the Monkland Canal was completed in 1794 and was built to bring coal from the mines around Monklands into Glasgow. Most of it was filled in on the 1970s when the M8 motoway was built on top of it, but small fragments like this remain.

#Solar panels on #water #canals seem like a no-brainer. So why aren't they widespread?
#SolarAquaGrid proposed water-saving #solarpanels to shade #irrigation canals, but they "couldn't get anyone to commit"

Except I wasn't running.
