Hidden Depths
Located directly behind a bingo hall in Maryhill is this rather imposing sandstone structure. Its reason for being there isn't apparent unless you check out the OS Map. This was part of the Glasgow Central Railway, that ran from Stobcross Junction to Maryhill Central via the Botanic Gardens.
Above is the Forth & Clyde canal, and the keystone of the railway tunnel can be seen behind the foliage. The tunnel's south portal has simply been stopped up with earth when the car park and bingo hall were built. The line was closed to passengers in 1959, and finally closed to freight in 1964. The tunnel mouth was eventually closed off in 1988.

Forth and Clyde Canal [26]
The traffic cones in the canal ensure that the fish keep in the correct lane.
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

White Water-lily (Nymphaea alba)
Most of the clumps of these are on the far side of the canal, but there were a few close enough to the towpath to photograph.
