Stockingfield Junction in Glasgow’s Maryhill area is both striking and transformative in its design connecting active travel paths over the Forth and Clyde Canal, between the 3 areas on different sides of the canal – Maryhill, Gilsochill and Ruchill.
Scottish Canals and Sustrans delivered the project with Balfour Beatty as contractor and engineering designer and having opened in 2022 the collaborative nature seems to have worked well with people and landscape coming together with an evolving art strategy for the community.
There is a great level of ambition for North Glasgow and transforming the canalside into an attractive and peaceful stretch of natural landscape within the city, with improved accessibility through Maryhill from here to the recently repurposed nature reserve environment around the claypits at the other end of Maryhill. I took these images whilst practicing and learning to fly a drone.
