The scene here belies the fact that this is an urban area. Note the water lilies - a sure sign that boats are few and far between.

Forth and Clyde Canal [48]
A view from the towpath looking down onto the Maryhill Line as it passes underneath the canal and sweeps left to join the North Clyde Line.
The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. The main line of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6774

Number 5 gasholder is one of the two remaining gasholders at Temple Gasholder Station, seen from the towpath of the Forth and Clyde Canal. Built in 1900 and capable of holding 141,584 cubic metres of gas, this holder and its companion number 4 are two of the last remaining examples of the 19th – early 20th century gas industry in Scotland and a reminder of the former industrial use of the site.
