Stockingfield Junction is a spot along the canal between Maryhill and Ruchill in Glasgow, Scotland. It first opened back in 1777, closed in 1963, and was later restored and reopened in 2022. Originally, it served as a terminus before becoming the junction for the Port Dundas branch off the main line of the Forth and Clyde Canal from 1777.

Speirs Wharf

Highlight • Structure

Speirs Wharf is a Glasgow city landmark on the Forth and Clyde Canal. The buildings here were built in 1851 as grain mills, storage & the offices of the Forth & Clyde Navigation Co. They were converted into apartments and retail space in 1989.
Today it's a trendy place with a nice cafe and leisure facilities. The canal is a good place to run, and this is a good stop if your running from the city centre or back into town.
