Overview

A walk along footpaths, quiet roads and canal towpath including a section through the tunnel at Falkirk. There is a handrail on the edge of the towpath inside the tunnel as well as lighting but a torch may be useful, particularly if you want to claim the prize for spotting the most ducks. Watch out for water dripping through the roof in a few short sections.
