Paddling near Glasgow, Scotland


Glasgow sits at the heart of a remarkably varied paddling region. The River Clyde runs through the city itself, while the Forth & Clyde Canal provides a flat, accessible Class-I route linking Glasgow to Edinburgh. Within an hour or so lie Loch Lomond, Loch Katrine, and a string of rivers ranging from gentle touring water to whitewater, making this one of Scotland's most paddler-friendly urban areas.
