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.

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.

Stockingfield canal junction
This is looking along the Forth & Clyde Canal in the direction of Edinburgh (eventually). In the middle distance is the remains of a set of safety gates, installed during World War 2 to allow sections of the canal to be isolated in the event of bomb damage.
