The former mooring point of the Queens of the Canals at the Craigmarloch Basin on the Forth and Clyde Canal, some 25km east of Glasgow. In 1893, a steamer by the name of the Fairy Queen started offering day trips along the canal between Port Dundas in Glasgow and Craigmarloch.

After the last week of dull grey skies and rain, the clouds disappeared and the blue skies and sunshine returned. Quick trip out to stock up on cat litter and provisions. Feeling a lot better after a week of coughing and sneezing. Stopped on the way back to visit the Chirk Aqueduct and Viaduct. The viaduct is higher than the Aqueduct and was built later.
