Yellow lilies are almost continuous now – but keep an eye open for the rarer white ones. We are soon walking along above the B8023, Kil- syth still a sprawl visible below the Campsies and Queenzieburn west of it. Eventually the towpath and road are merely separated by a railing, and for the last 70 metres to the Twechar Bridge there is a thin strip of pavement. On the far side there is staging and a slip. The Twechar Bridge is a lifting bridge, and alongside it are the abutments of an earlier swing bridge. Twechar is almost unpronounceable unless you were born there; try twek-ar (the 1823 Companion had Quecher). It never starts by rhyming with wheech. Created as a mining village in 1860, the original miners’ rows have gone, and housing schemes sprawl westwards. The school and church and better old buildings lie up the road south, where walkers descending from Bar Hill Roman fort exit. ‘Quarry (dis)’ indications.
