Glasgow’s Forth & Clyde Canal Engineering Trail

This self-led walk along Glasgow’s Forth & Clyde Canal will take you through the history of the city as well as that of Scotland itself.

Along the way, you can explore the engineering of the canal and it’s structures, learning why they were built, how they work and the impact they’ve had on the surrounding communities for the last 250 years.
