Leaving the Glasgow Branch of the Forth and Clyde Canal this morning we turned right at Stockingfield Junction to head eastwards.

Only two obstacles to pass today. One swing bridge and one lifting bridge. Both operated by British Waterways (BW) staff.

We arrived early at the first bridge and while we were waiting for the BW staff the Marjorie Seagull winded nearby. Operated by the Seagull Trust this is one of the Seagull boats providing canal trips for the less able and disadvantaged members of the community.

We were moored at Auchinstarry Basin by early afternoon and went walking to the Antonine Wall. Looking down across the valley gave this view of Auchinstarry Basin where we are moored.

Tomorrow we’re off to Falkirk and onto the Union Canal with our first trip on the wheel.
