Forth and Clyde canal at Cadder Wharf.
Just north of Glasgow

Two from the same spot on the F&C in Maryhill.
First is looking towards the city. Bridge over Maryhill road is just beyond the church roof on the right.
Other direction takes you towards Maryhill Locks and the aquaduct over the Kelvin.

Path will be closed for a couple of months .
The magnificent old aquaduct is leaking .

The magnificent old aquaduct

Is that the rather fun structure that looks a Medieval cutwater bridge with a Georgian topper finished with an Art Deco parapet?

Shropshire Union Canal approaching Chester city wall on Spirit recumbent from the East.

It gets a bit narrow as you near Northgate Locks. If you're going to wobble, make it to the left! Most canals are saucer shaped, so if you fall in, it's shallower at the edges. The canal is cut into the rock here, following an old moat, so the sides are apparently more vertical.

Lost me .
Never heard it called that

It's an archaic comic turn of phrase indicating agreement with an identification or statement, etc

A few pictures of the Stockingfield junction bridge in Maryhill.

It is a bit OTT for a canal bridge . Two small bridges would have worked and cost a lot less but it's here now and is quite spectacular
