Incorrect name[edit]

In Scotland, 'firth' means 'estuary', so this name is meaningless. The canal pathway is actually between the two estuaries (or firths) of the Forth and Clyde rivers, on opposite sides of the country. The Forth runs into the North sea on the East, the Clyde into the Atlantic on the West.

It is more usually referred to as the Forth and Clyde canal pathway. It actually consists of the tow-paths of two separate canals, which are joined together at the Falkirk Wheel, approximately halfway between Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Not sure how to change the name of a page. Does anyone know? I will research this, and welcome comments.
