Wild Harvest along the Forth and Clyde Canal

There is a lot of wild fruit growing along the Forth and Clyde Canal. I had the good fortune to find some brambles to eat during my walk along the canal today.


Brambles next the canal, near Kelvindale.

There are a lot of rose hips, the largest that I have ever seen, on the canal path. Rose hips are used for herbal tea, jam, jelly, soup, wine and marmalade.
