The
most promising area is currently Bonnybridge to Kirkintilloch
on the Forth & Clyde Canal as this was re-stocked
as recently as November 2003.Castlecary Bridge (locks 18,19), Located off the A803 at Longcroft, turn onto Cumbernauld Road next to the Longcroft Arms pub, follow road down to the canal bridge (dead end), ample parking near to canal.
Wyndford Bridge (lock 20), Again located off A803 between Banknock and Auchincloch, junction not easy to find, some parking possible near to canal.
Craigmarloch Bridge, Take the road to Dullatur off the A803. Quiet, rural location with small public car park next to canal.
Auchinstarry Bridge, very busy area but some parking available and canal access.
Twechar Swing Bridge, Again a busy area but some parking available with canal access.
Tintock/Twechar, South, Access to this area is from the A803 also, a small turning off this road leads to a tunnel UNDER the canal (by car) onto a single track road the end of which leads to another tow path to Twechar, limited parking is possible on the grass verge (JUST!) at the end of this road.
Disabled access may be possible to
some locations such as Craigmarloch Bridge, however some gates
may cause restrictions.
