Royal Fern beside the Forth & Clyde Canal
A clump of the Royal Fern (Osmunda regalis) amongst other ferns beside the towpath. Two spore-bearing fronds can clearly be seen protruding above the leaves. See [https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6194451] for another view.

Royal Fern (Osmunda regalis)
There are apparently only two localities in Glasgow where this plant is found. Its spores are borne on separate fronds from the leaves; two such fronds are obvious towards the left here, but there are others among the leaves.

Spotted Orchids?
They certainly look like orchids, and they have spotted leaves, but I can't make up my mind which species they are.

Forth and Clyde Canal [29]
This plaque is in the middle of the wall of the Stockingfield Aqueduct over Lochburn Road and gives the distances to Spiers Wharf on the Glasgow Branch and to Bowling on the main 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 Glasgow Branch of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6771 The main line of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6773

Forth and Clyde Canal [28]
Looking down from the towpath to Lochburn Road. The narrow and busy road tunnel under the aqueduct currently provides the only means for pedestrians to cross the canal but there are plans to build a new footbridge here to connect all three banks - see https://www.scottishcanals.co.uk/news/stockingfield-bridge/
