Set sail on the world’s first sea to sea ship canal!<br />
The Forth & Clyde Canal was completed <strong>in</strong> 1790<br />
allow<strong>in</strong>g vessels to cross <strong>Scotland</strong> from the Clyde<br />
to the Forth at Grangemouth. The canal empties Auch<strong>in</strong>loch<br />
<strong>in</strong>to the Clyde at the Bowl<strong>in</strong>g Bas<strong>in</strong> where this<br />
excellent route starts (Bowl<strong>in</strong>g tra<strong>in</strong> station is<br />
nearby - see map 3).<br />
<strong>Cycle</strong> through Clydebank, where <strong>National</strong> Route 7<br />
leaves the canal, and follow the towpath effortlessly<br />
through Glasgow city. There are plenty of rail<br />
options to shorten the journey or you can cont<strong>in</strong>ue<br />
through open countryside to Kirk<strong>in</strong>tilloch (see map<br />
8 for Lenzie rail connection).<br />
