I spotted this barge on the Forth & Clyde Canal at the weekend.
The canal used to be one of the busiest waterways in the country and I remember "puffers" like the Vital Spark, which I spotted is now berthed at Inverary Pier, passing through the swing bridge on Kilbowie Road. The Vital Spark was a fictional Clyde puffer created by Neil Munro and later turned into a very funny TV show.
This barge is Dutch and at some point must have made the journey across the North Sea.
A rare sight by today's standards.
