Forth & Clyde Canal

The Forth and Clyde Canal is a historic waterway in Scotland that connects the Firth of Forth in the east to the Firth of Clyde in the west. Built in the late 18th century, it was designed to facilitate the transport of goods and reduce travel time between Edinburgh and Glasgow. The canal features locks and bridges to manage elevation changes. Although its commercial use declined with the rise of railroads, today it is popular for recreational activities like boating, walking, and cycling, and is admired for its scenic route and historical significance.
