As this markers shows, the Forth and Clyde Canal drops an impressive 156 feet between Maryhill in Glasgow and Bowling, the point about ten miles away where the it meets the sea. This is roughtly the same vertical drop as Niagara Falls. This descent is achieved by the use of twenty separate locks.

The Kelvin Aquaduct in Maryhill. Opened in 1790, it carries the Forth and Clyde Canal over the River Kelvin. It was designed by Robert Whitworth, and at 136 metres long and 19 metres high, it was the biggest aquaduct in Britain at that time it was built

The new two-way cable-stayed bridge over the Forth & Clyde Canal at Stockingfield Junction is an incredible piece of engineering intermixed with community led art installations 🖤 It reconnects the communities of Gilshochill, Maryhill & Ruchill for the first time since 1790!
