Carron Basin to Falkirk Junction

The Forth & Clyde Canal provides a through route between the east and west coasts of Scotland. From the Firth of Forth in the East the route follows the tidal River Carron until reaching the seal lock at the end of the canal.

Climbing through 15 locks in the first 3 miles the canal reaches the Union Inn and the site of the former junction with the Union Canal.

After a further mile it reaches the new junction with the Union Canal which includes the Falkirk Wheel on its route to Edinburgh.

Falkirk Junction to Stockingfield Junction

After a further mile it reaches the new junction with the Union Canal which includes the Falkirk Wheel on its route to Edinburgh.

The Forth & Clyde Canal continues on the level for a further 3 miles before climbing through the 4 locks at Castlecary. Now the summit pound stretches over 15 miles to Stockingfield Junction in Glasgow.

Stockingfield Junction to Bowling Basin

Beyond Stockingfield Junction is Maryhill Viaduct, closely followed by the 5 Maryhill Locks starting the descent to the Clyde.

The descent continues through a further 11 locks until Dalmuir. Here the unique drop-lock allows boats to pass under the busy road bridge.

Two more conventional locks complete the descent to the basin at Bowling where the sea lock allows passage through Bowling Harbour onto the tidal River Clyde and on towards the Firth of Clyde.

Glasgow Branch (Stockingfield Junction to Port Dundas Basin)

The Glasgow Branch diverges to the left for nearly 3 miles to Spiers Wharf, with an extension to Port Dundas basin.
