Tips
The Forth and Clyde Canal was constructed in 1790. It was successful initially but closed in the 1960s. Today it's a leisure destination with a brilliant towpath making an ideal cycling outing.

Cycling along a canal has always been our thing...
The old towpaths are being integrated into the cycle paths, which for us cyclists means always cycling along the water.translated by
