  • The Wheel – Forth and Clyde Canal (Falkirk)

    The Wheel – Forth and Clyde Canal (Falkirk)

    Glasgow-Falkirk (The Wheel) – Glasgow – 72 km

    The Wheel is a remarkable engineering feat that connects the Forth and Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It is the world’s only rotating boat lift, and it can lift boats up to 24 metres in height. The Wheel was opened in 2002, and it has become a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Scotland’s industrial heritage. The Forth and Clyde Canal was built in the 18th century, and it was the first canal in Britain to cross from coast to coast. It allowed trade and transport between the east and west of Scotland, and it also linked with the Union Canal, which ran to Edinburgh. However, the canals fell into decline in the 20th century, and they were closed in 1963. The Wheel was part of a project to restore the canals and reconnect them, and it has revived their use for leisure and recreation.

  • The Kelpies, Scotland

    The Kelpies, Scotland

    82 km cycling trip from Glasgow to Falkirk along the Forth and Clyde Ship Canal.

    The Kelpies are two monumental sculptures of horse heads, located in Falkirk, Scotland. They were designed by artist Andy Scott and completed in 2013. The sculptures are inspired by the mythological creatures of the same name, which were said to inhabit the lochs and rivers of Scotland. The Kelpies are made of stainless steel and stand 30 meters tall, weighing 300 tonnes each. They are the largest equine sculptures in the world and a symbol of Scotland’s industrial and agricultural heritage.

    International historic civil engineering landmark Forth & Clyde Ship Canal was constructed from Grangemouth to Glasgow in the years 1768-1777 and the section Glasgow to Bowling in 1785-1790. The canal was closed due to the poor technical condition and the fact that shipping was stopped in 1963. The Canal was reopened in 2001 after modernization coast, re-vitalization and deep cleaning.
    The canal. which in addition to inland traffic, accommodated full-masted coastal ships between The North and Irish Seas, represents a world landmark in canal engineering development. The project significantly advanced the industrial revolution in Scotland, and its organization proved the model for civil engineering work down to the present.

  • Cycling tour around northern Glasgow

    Cycling tour around northern Glasgow

    Glasgow, Alexandra Parade – Glasgow, Riddrie – Stepps – Kirkintilloch – Milton of Campsie – Balgrochan – Campsie Glen – Haughhead – Strathblane – Milngavie – Bearsden – Glasgow, Maryhill –  Glasgow, Firhill – Glasgow, Port Duncan – Glasgow, Royston – Glasgow (my destination)

    The bike tour lasted only a few hours, I recommend cycling in the order given due to the number of downhill and lower altitude. The photos were taken with the camera placed on the Huawei Honor 7 mobile phone. I use it mainly in the field when there is no space and time to use the DSLR camera.

  • Cycling along the Glasgow Heritage Trail

    Cycling along the Glasgow Heritage Trail

    I often go cycling by bike for short travel to the centre city (Glasgow). I often try to visit museums and take photos from the best side.

    Glasgow Heritage Trail is a self-guided tour that takes you through the history and culture of Scotland’s largest city. You can explore the architectural gems, the artistic legacy, the industrial heritage and the social movements that shaped Glasgow over the centuries. The trail covers 12 sites of interest, from the medieval cathedral to the modern Riverside Museum. You can start at any point and follow the signs and plaques. The trail takes about 3 hours to complete, but you can also stop and enjoy the attractions, cafes and shops you encounter. Glasgow Heritage Trail is a great way to discover the rich and diverse story of this vibrant city.

  • A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond

    A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond

    Encouraged by the previous trip I decided to take a longer cycling tour. I was riding a bike from Glasgow to Balloch (Loch Lomond)  by Dumbarton. During the tour, I stopped over the bay in Dumbarton where I made short a lunch break.

    A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond is a great way to explore the scenic countryside of Scotland. The route is about 40 miles long and follows mostly flat or gently rolling roads, with some optional detours to visit historic sites and natural attractions. You can start from the city centre of Glasgow and cycle along the River Clyde, passing by landmarks such as the Riverside Museum, the Science Centre and the SSE Hydro. Then you can head north-west towards Dumbarton, where you can see the impressive Dumbarton Castle on a rocky outcrop. From there, you can follow the cycle path along the Forth and Clyde Canal, which offers a peaceful and picturesque ride. You can stop at Bowling Harbour to admire the boats and the canal locks, or visit the Auchentoshan Distillery to sample some whisky. The final stretch of the tour takes you to Balloch, the gateway to Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park. You can enjoy the stunning views of the loch and the surrounding mountains, or take a boat trip to explore the islands. You can also visit the Balloch Castle Country Park, which has a beautiful garden and a historic castle. A bike tour from Glasgow to Loch Lomond is a rewarding and enjoyable experience that will give you a taste of Scotland’s culture and nature.
