Sea lock on the Forth & Clyde canal
This is where the canal joins the River Carron. The current OS 50,000 and 25,000 mapping is incorrect, showing the Forth & Clyde Canal joining the River Carron to the west of the motorway, rather than running parallel but separate to the river for a further half mile or so east of the M9. This is because the canal was extended in 2014 to permit easier access from the river.

Grangemouth, canal Sea Lock
View across the Carron to the sea lock of the Forth & Clyde Canal. As can be seen no vessel would be able to enter as the water is probably 2 ft. deep at most. In fact it is doubtful whether many vessels at all use it.

Path between the canal and the river
The current OS 50,000 and 25,000 mapping is incorrect, showing the Forth & Clyde Canal joining the River Carron to the west of the motorway, rather than running parallel but separate to the river for a further half mile or so east of the M9. This is because the canal was extended in 2014 to permit easier access from the river.

Mudflats on the River Carron at low tide
The pontoon is at the entrance lock at the east end of the Forth & Clyde Canal. This demonstrates that entrance to the canal is NOT possible at all states of tide!
