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.
