They believed these monuments to our industrial past could be put to use in the future for the benefit of local communities and they could see that this decline in the canals needed to be highlighted to local and national authorities. After the completion of their main goal, to have the canals fully re- instated for public use, they continue to support, promote and use the Forth and Clyde Canal in various ways.</p><p>Come along to the Forth and Clyde Canal Society Office where there will be information on Canal history and heritage. There will also be the opportunity to take a short trip on one of our boats.</p>
