Book excerpt: The Forth and Clyde Canal, completed in 1790, was by far the largest engineering project that had ever been seen in Scotland. It allowed coal and machinery to travel East and grain to travel West. Passengers could travel between Glasgow and Edinburgh in greater comfort than by stagecoach, and it produced employment along its entire route. But it required capital on a scale previously unknown; it required the collaboration of Edinburgh, Glasgow and London; it required new technology; and it encountered its full measure of constructional problems. It took 22 years to build.The Forth and Clyde Canal enjoyed half a century of success before it was eclipsed by the railways. Although the passenger trade was lost, and much of the freight also, the canal struggled on for another century before the rise of road transport resulted in its decline. Now, after a long period of neglect, and sporting the spectacular Falkirk Wheel, it enjoys new life as an imaginative leisure resource.Thomas J. Dowds tells the story of the rise, fall and rise again of this landmark in Scottish history.

Book excerpt: The production of this new and comprehensive map was prompted by the redesign of our chart C23 East Coast of Scotland. The plan of the Caledonian Canal was taken out of that chart and now becomes part of this map which also covers the Forth and Clyde Canals, Crinan Canal and an overview map showing the inter-relationship between the Scottish waterway system. It is a comprehensive reference to the waterways, embellished by the usual notes on dimensions, restrictions and formalities. The map provides all the necessary information for the yachtsman crossing between the east and west coasts of Scotland. On the reverse side, Jane Cumberlidge, who edited the map, has written interesting notes on the background and history of the waterways and also gives some indication of places to see and visit.

Book excerpt: This entertaining and informative book will be of practical benefit to all who discover the historic Union Canal and the Forth & Clyde Canal, whether walking, cycling, boating or visiting the Falkirk Wheel or the Kelpies. The canals are for fun, whether on the water, on the towpath, walking or cycling or just visiting.The canals can be enjoyed at any season. In winter, with the trees leafless, the views are more extensive and there is less traffic on towpath or waterway. In high summer the green world of trees is almost overwhelming, the banks crowded with sweet reed grass, meadow sweet, willowherbs, vetches and many spreads of yellow waterlily, a real Wind in the Willows world. In autumn there are brambles to be eaten, in spring the returning wildlife spree, with swans nesting and swallows swooping. The canals are a scenic treat and will repay many visits or a dedicated holiday challenge.Canals Across Scotland provides detailed towpath information, suggests what to see and do along the way and in the towns passed. The book is full of fascinating historical background, knowledgeable descriptions, practicalinformation, good stories and is beautifully illustrated. Side trips to the Antonine Wall, which stretches from the Firthof Forth to the Firth of Clyde, country parks or to towns like Linlithgow, Falkirk, Kilsyth and Kirkintilloch, often bycircular walks, are also described.The canals are for leisurely, timeless exploring and this updated guide will be an essential companion.

Book excerpt: For many thousands of years waterways were the primary means of travel. Whether it was along a river or across a lake or even on the sea, water was the easiest way of getting from A to B, especially if you had a load to carry. It is not surprising then that when industrialization took hold canals were the natural solution to transporting goods and people from the industrial areas to their markets. Today the waterways have largely been abandoned as trade routes but many of them make great recreational resources for walkers, cyclists and of course, boaters. This book looks at the history and development of Scotland's waterways, in particular the canals and rivers. It features over 20 different routes ranging from just a few hundred metres to multi-day treks along long-distance-paths. The locations cover the width and breadth of Scotland, from the borders to the highlands. Each waterway features a map as well as photographs and the longer routes are broken into shorter more manageable sections.Most of the routes initially appeared as a series of short Kindle e-books but in this volume they have been brought together with expanded background information, more photos and updated descriptions.

Download or read book Waterways and the Cultural Landscape written by Francesco Vallerani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water control and management have been fundamental to the building of human civilisation. In Europe, the regulation of major rivers, the digging of canals and the wetland reclamation schemes from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, generated new typologies of waterscapes with significant implications for the people who resided within them. This book explores the role of waterways as a form of heritage, culture and sense of place and the potential of this to underpin the development of cultural tourism. With a multidisciplinary approach across the social sciences and humanities, chapters explore how the control and management of water flows are among some of the most significant human activities to transform the natural environment. Based upon a wealth and breadth of European case studies, the book uncovers the complex relationships we have with waterways, the ways that they have been represented over recent centuries and the ways in which they continue to be redefined in different cultural contexts. Contributions recognise not only valuable assets of hydrology that are at the core of landscape management, but also more intangible aspects that matter to people, such as their familiarity, affecting what is understood as the fluvial sense of place. This highly original collection will be of interest to those working in cultural tourism, cultural geography, heritage studies, cultural history, landscape studies and leisure studies.
