Sunset over the Union Canal
Reader Steven Fagan took this evocative shot of the Union Canal near Polmont at sunset on Friday.
It arguably shows just how
picturesque this waterway in an urban setting can be.
The Forth and Clyde and Union canals will be centre stage of a special Canals Festival to be staged later this month to celebrate the reopening of bridges at Twechar and Bonnybridge after a year’s closure.
This will enable boat traffic to access the length of boat canals - and during the festival will bring an armada of vessels large and small to events at the Helix and elsewhere.
