Harrybriscoe Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I grew up in Drumchapel and as kids the Forth & Clyde canal was always referred to as The Nolly. Someone asked me today why it was called that and I had to admit I didn't have a scoobie. Anyone know where the name comes from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
