![Forth and Clyde Canal [26]. The traffic cones in the canal ensure that the fish keep in the correct lane.The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. The Glasgow Branch of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6771 by Michael Dibb – 25 June 2019](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/24/92/6249248_56600f30_120x120.jpg)
