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.

If you look carefully at the iron guard on the bridge pier on the left of this picture, you can see where the ropes used to pull the barges have cut into it.
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.

Go to my favourite postal #newsagent to buy the latest issue of #LeFigaro Magazine, which looks to have interesting articles about #MontSaintMichel and #Vatican #astronomers. And oops! Magazines about canal #boating and British #archaeology also fell into my online basket and were bought. Amazing how that just happened ๐ The postal newsagent I use is https://www.newsstand.co.uk in #Whitstable. #astronomy #narrowboats #canals

#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"

I could say I had a run-in with a batch of nettles while undoing the bow rope on an overgrown towpath.
Except I wasn't running.
โฆ I suppose I had an arm-in with nettles.
I'm itchy.
