Old hulks resting in the mud at low tide are what most visitors notice at Bowling, the tidal basin marking the western entrance of the Forth and Clyde Canal. Once a transhipment point where coastal puffers passed iron ore, limestone and timber to canal barges, the harbour is today managed by Scottish Canals as a leisure and tourism site rather than a commercial cargo facility. Freight relevance for forwarders is limited; containerised or bulk shipments in the Glasgow area are handled at King George V Dock or at Greenock Ocean Terminal further down the Clyde.
