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! #ScottishCanals

At the start of this year I signed up for #ScottishCanals #CanalChallenge200 - it was all to do with celebrating the 200th Anniversary of the opening of the #UnionCanal and the #CaledonianCanal.
Well, at some point this afternoon and somewhere in #Camelon I reached my target of #walking 200 miles along Scotland's canals this year.
Feeling quite chuffed.

Good to be out #walking again in some dry weather. Today's walk of choice was along the #ForthAndClydeCanal from #Auchinstarry to #UnderwoodLock. Another part of my #ScottishCanals #CanalChallenge200 - only five more miles until I reach my target.
