The Falkirk Wheel and surrounding area is managed by Scottish Canals. They licence a variety of catering trailers at the wheel, these include coffee and snacks most days and wood fired pizza in the evening. It's handy to be able to grab a coffee and watch the wheel at the start or after a run.

March 14, 2023, Falkirk Wheel

The Falkirk Wheel is an ingenious boat lifting device that connects the Forth & Clyde Canal with the Union Canal. It opened in 2002. It's a fascinating piece of kit and worth a stop on your run to watch it in action. The canal paths in both directions are brilliant for running, you've got miles of flat, traffic free & well surfaced running, perfect for training runs of any distance. Popular with bikes and walkers as well though so best get out early if you want to run without interruption.

March 13, 2023, Tomtain Summit View

Tomtain is the most easterly of the Kilsyth Hills & the Campsie Fells. At 453m it isn't the highest but its position gives it prominence and a great view. It's often climbed from the road to the east but can be incorporated into a great running loop along the ridge from the Carron Valley Reservoir.
