Forth and Clyde Canal
Here the canal runs beside the Lochburn Road. The towpath is wide and well surfaced and it was being heavily used.

Lochburn Road passes under the canal
The road narrows under the canal so that cars have to politely give way to oncoming traffic. It seems surprising now to see such a spot still unregulated by traffic lights.

Stockingfield Stop Lock, Forth & Clyde Canal
The stop lock is one of several on the canal installed during the second world war.
According to Wikipedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockingfield_Junction#The_Safety_Gates] 'In 1942 two massive steel safety gates were constructed on the Edinburgh side of Stockingfield Junction at what is known as the Stockingfield Narrows. The purpose of these two hand cranked steel gates was to hold back the waters of the Forth and Clyde Canal to prevent serious flooding in Glasgow in the event of bombing destroying the Stockingfield Aqueduct...'
In the distance are flats at the corner of Lochburn Road and cadder Road.
