![The Mondriaan development. This is a view over a branch of the Forth and Clyde Canal, looking towards the buildings of Shuna Crescent.

![Maryhill Road cycle parking. The cycle racks are at the foot of the steps up to a bridge over the canal [[6322128]] that leads to a student village, so students are obviously intended to leave their bikes here and walk over the bridge. Despite the CCTV warnings it doesn't look a secure location, and I expect many will carry their bikes up the steps and keep them in their flats. by Stephen Craven – 25 June 2019](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/32/21/6322132_f855456c_120x120.jpg)
