Forth & Clyde Canal Boat Covers

The Forth & Clyde Canal crosses central Scotland for 35 miles from the Firth of Clyde at Bowling in the west to the Firth of Forth at Grangemouth in the east, providing a historic trade route that was once busy with coastal trading vessels. After decades of closure, the canal was comprehensively restored and reopened in 2001 as part of the Millennium Link project, which also restored the Union Canal and created the spectacular Falkirk Wheel — a rotating boat lift that reconnects the two waterways in a feat of modern engineering that has become one of Scotland's top tourist attractions. The canal passes through Kirkintilloch, Camelon, and Falkirk, with the towpath forming part of a popular walking and cycling route. Bowling Harbour at the western end provides access to the Clyde and the wider coastal cruising grounds. Scottish weather means persistent westerly winds and high rainfall, while the cross-Scotland position means the canal is occasionally exposed to fresh winds from either the Atlantic or the North Sea.
