Stockingfield Junction is a spot along the canal between Maryhill and Ruchill in Glasgow, Scotland. It first opened back in 1777, closed in 1963, and was later restored and reopened in 2022. Originally, it served as a terminus before becoming the junction for the Port Dundas branch off the main line of the Forth and Clyde Canal from 1777.

Òran Mór

Highlight • Historical Site

The Òran Mór is a fantastic pub on Glasgow's Westside.
If you're in Glasgow, you absolutely have to stop here.
The pub was set up in a former church.
The atmosphere has been preserved, along with a veritable whiskey selection.
