Canal Junction
This was the point where boats travelling to the Forth and Clyde Canal originally left the Union Canal, bearing right to descend a series of eleven locks, basins and docks to Camelon, passing a chemical works, two foundries and an alum works on the way. The locks, basins and docks, and the industries, have all vanished, replaced by housing estates for the most part. A path follows the former towpath part of the way down the brae. The canal continues for a short distance to the left. For the reciprocal view see Image

Slipway on the Union Canal
The widening of the canal at this slipway is all that remains of the top of the flights of locks and basins that once joined this canal to the Forth and Clyde Canal in the valley below. Derelict for many decades, the link was eventually restored further west with the construction of the Falkirk Wheel. See also Image The line of the towpath alongside the long-gone locks is now a cycle rouet, a sign for which can be seen here.

Narrowboat at Bantaskine
Just about every crew who passed me made a comment along the lines of 'this is the way to travel!' and this crew, aboard 'Peccadillo', was no exception. The wooded far bank is part of South Bantaskine Estate, a popular public park.

Surrounded by Litter
Benches are not plentiful along this end of the canal, and when you see the mess round this one, perhaps that's no bad thing. The edge of the wood is full of discarded bottles and other rubbish; in fact this image doesn't really show the sheer quantity of it.
