We’re about to replace bolts on gates at the Corpach Double Lock (Caledonian Canal). Works start on Feb 3 and will be finished by the time the canal reopens for navigation on March 24. A towpath diversion will be in place for a short time: tinyurl.com/25s43bth

Brillant to visit the amazing WeMakeitGlasgow pop up #ArtBothy today. An inspired idea to engage the community & give an opportunity to see how great it would be for #Glasgow to have a #CeramicPotteryMuseum in #Maryhill. Highlight our history but creating our shared future.
