Stockingfield Junction is a spot along the canal between Maryhill and Ruchill in Glasgow, Scotland. It first opened back in 1777, closed in 1963, and was later restored and reopened in 2022. Originally, it served as a terminus before becoming the junction for the Port Dundas branch off the main line of the Forth and Clyde Canal from 1777.

Crow Road Climb from Gonachan Cottage

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

The Crow Road from Gonachan Cottage offers a gentler approach to this iconic Scottish climb, averaging 4–5% over around 5 km with occasional ramps up to 8%. The road surface is smooth and wide, rising steadily through open moorland with far-reaching views as you gain height. The gradient allows you to find a rhythm early and hold it, making it ideal for steady tempo riding. Wind can still be a factor, especially near the summit, so keep your effort measured. It’s a scenic, satisfying climb that rewards pacing and persistence.
