Speirs Wharf's sandstone warehouses and boats reflected in the still canal on a sunny day

A walk along the Forth and Clyde Canal

Speirs Wharf, Port Dundas, to Maryhill

Follow the towpath from the old grain mills at Speirs Wharf out through north Glasgow to the flight of locks and the Kelvin Aqueduct at Maryhill.

Why it's a good date: Scottish Canals welcomes dogs on the towpath as long as they're under control and you clean up after them. Bikes share the path, so a short lead helps. It's flat, quiet and greener than you'd expect, with narrowboats at the start and wide views from the locks.
