We conclude our Scottish boating adventure by taking our narrowboat to Glasgow on the Forth & Clyde Canal. Setting off from the historic town of Kirkintilloch we follow the route of the Antonine Wall where it passes an old fort at Cadder before navigating a new bridge at Stockingfield Junction before ending our journey at Firhill Stadium, home to Partick Thistle.

I loved Otis eyeing up that biscuit!!😂

@ljhoats 2 года назад

I saw so well behaved. My dog would have sneaked it.

@cactusneedlestitcher6120 2 года назад

Otis is such a good pup for not nipping that biscuit. Thanks for the mini break-cation. The views you share are so different from the sonoran desert I see outside my windows.

@markmalone9216 2 года назад

What's next?! Irish canals? LOVE the weekly uploads!

@garyhulme3673 2 года назад

It's Friday , interested in normal stuff ? Watch this channel. Just perfect, great camera work, two nuts and a lovely dog bobbin along the water. This channel should be snapped up like Fred dibner was , cos it's just BRILLIANT every episode. Nothing they do is a bored moment and keeps you glued to the interestingly given talk about our country. Well done yet again boys.

@carolynabramo7108 2 года назад

I agree with Chris and Mary. Absolutely brilliant. My favorite bit is of Otis sitting on his little perch while Shaun is at the tiller. Til the next time. Xo

@FoxesAfloat 2 года назад

Can't wait!

@juliaharris8751 2 года назад

Very informative and enjoyable vlog! Colin, your delivery and research really make for an interesting cruise-along. Shawn, if you haven't already done so, could you cook and demo a favorite curry recipe for us?

@jennythescouser 2 года назад

Hay Shaun! If Colin get's on your nerves, just kick him in the Gorbals. Great video guys

@bikeforever2016 2 года назад

Most canals had a headroom set in the act that allowed them to be built. A minimum ditance from water level to the underside of any bridge. The Forth and Clyde canal act did not set a limit and so when originally built all bridges had to be swing or lift so that any height of boat and mast could be accommodated. Only after the canal fell into disrepair did lower, fixed bridges get built. The new footbridge in Kirkintilloch is shaped to reflect the bow of a ship, in recognition or the towns shipbuilding heritage. And the name Kirkintilloch is, despite sounding Galic, of roman origin meaning "fort on the ridge" (I think) Thanks for these great episodes, reminding me of the times I spent cycling the canal when I lived in the area. Many happy memories.

@gingermolinero8386 2 года назад

Shaun and Colin thank you for the great vlog, I look forward to seeing you each week. Will your new boat have a perch for Otis, so much fun seeing him as you travel along. Thank you again. Health and safe travels

@kevinoliver6664 2 года назад

I wonder where the next adventure will be 😅😅 Yesterday, I’ve bought a pocket bully puppy and named him Rhino, however he was never wormed by the sellers and surprised me this morning with worms 😱🤢. took him to the vets today and got him wormed hopefully they should go in a couple of weeks

@sarahjane1528 2 года назад

I always found myself saying to a few English folk, rather jokingly, that the Scottish are so scary that the Romans built two walls just to try and keep us out (it didn't work). 😁 When my partner moved from England to be closer to me, I did warn him about checking football games in Glasgow before heading up there, because it can get remarkably rowdy in the town centre.

Gentlemen, I must tell you that my wife and I have missed you for the past little while and were thrilled when we saw your post today.

Otis eyeing the biscuit was cute. Hope he got a treat for not snatching the whole thing. Another beautiful day on the canal. Interesting and entertainingly shared history by Colin. Waiting with baited breath to see what you 3 get up to next.

Thanks guy for all your vlogs amazing we have been watching you for a year now. We are hoping to by our own boat this year once we have sold our house. You have given us such a eye opener on life on the canal. Looking forward to your next vlog take care x

@finbat 2 года назад

Great Vid. My Grandpa was a cooper (barrel maker) who worked near Port Dundas at the end of the leg into Glasgow. Here's hoping you come back to do the run down to Bowling (which includes a sail through chippy and a sinking lock to get under a road. I remember back in about 1968 seeing the dilapidated state of the canal around Lock 27 (Anniesland), it was lovely seeing the canal restored to its former glory. Thanks for coming to Scotland and reminding the world that while we only have a few canals left - they are stunning in bits.

Hey fellas, I haven't left a comment in awhile but I just wanted to thank you both so much for your channel and these wonderful videos. I can't tell you how much they helped me during the lonelier times of the pandemic when I was suffering due to the isolation. Indeed I was watching several narrowboat channels and it made me feel freer and less confined. But you two with your good humor and generous spirits made the hard days so much better. Bless you both. Much love from Florida Laura. 🍊🤗🧡

Hi guys. I love all your videos and since discovering your channel went back to the very beginning and binged watched them . I was wondering how about a video showing what you do AFTER you have reached your destination. Like just living. Shopping. Cooking. Exercising. Walking Otis. Etc. And how about a Foxes cookbook Shaun. Or a cookbook showing simple quick easy meals. Just my mind racing ahead. Can’t wait for next Friday.
