20의 스코틀랜드 중부가지 명소 & 주요 장소

“Strathclyde Loch is more than just water: beneath its surface, Bothwellhaugh, a mining village swept away in the 1970s, vanished. Today, only a cairn remains as a reminder of the houses, schools, and shops. There's also a Roman fort and an ancient road (yes, Watling Street is still here). Final warning: In 2012, a norovirus outbreak left 57 swimmers unconscious. Water caution.

The Union Canal crosses the River Avon via the Avon Aqueduct. It was completed in 1821 and built to a design by Hugh Baird, with advice from Thomas Telford. It's 810 feet (250 m) long and 86 feet (26 m) high. Both the John Muir Way and the Union Canal towpath cross the aqueduct.

What an amazing structure and piece of engineering. It is the only wheel of its kind. Well worth the visit

Worth the small detour from the main route to visit this castle. Great views across the Forth and to the bridges.

Croy Hill was a Roman fort,and probable temporary camp

Well worth a visit.

As well as going in and seeing the house, there is plenty to do within the grounds. Cafe, woodland walks, and a section of the Antonine wall. Free but limited parking, and children’s play area. There’s also a lot of wildlife, and longer walks to the kelpies or Falkirk wheel are possible.

The Falkirk Wheel is an ingenious boat lifting device that connects the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It opened in 2002. It's a fascinating piece of kit and worth a stop on your run to watch it in action. The canal paths in both directions are brilliant for running, you've got miles of flat, traffic free & well surfaced running, perfect for training runs of any distance. Popular with bikes and walkers as well though so best get out early if you want to run without interruption.
