The Forth and Clyde Canal was opened in 1790 to provide a link between the Forth at Grangemouth and the Clyde at Bowling. There is also a branch to Port Dundas in Glasgow. The canal was closed to commercial traffic in 1963 after a long decline and fell into a derelict state; it has now been restored although the debris in the water here suggests boats are few and far between.
