Towpath on the Monkland Canal near Bargeddie
National Cycle Route 75 follows the towpath to this point and then turns left to go through a housing estate and then Bargeddie. The canal stops a short distance further on. The rest of the canal to Port Dundas was converted to a culvert in the 1970s and most of it is now under the M8 motorway. Drumpellier Colliery Pits 3&4 were on the other side of the canal.

Monkland Canal and railway
The canal emerges from under the Edinburgh - Helensburgh railway. The flow is distinctive here and when the photo was taken the water was so clear that the bottom (originally 4ft.6ins) could be seen.

Field near Bargeddie
The picture was taken from the pavement on the northern side of Glasgow Road (as the road is called from about this point eastward), near a bus stop (I paused at the bus stop to consult my street atlas, to decide where to head next).
The area of woodland in the background is depicted on the map; beyond it, over the brow of the hill, is the Drumpellier estate.
