A typical Mondriaan interior, opposite; views of the Mondriaan properties, top and above Sitting on a balcony or decking watching swans, moorhens and narrowboats floating by, it's hard to believe you are in the centre of Glasgow. But down by Forth and Clyde Canal in Ruchill, it's easy to let time slide and leave the stresses of the surrounding city behind. Bellway Homes' Mondriaan development is typical of a new wave of waterfront sites that have become a modern success story as buyers join the rush to live close to canals and shorelines. The renovation of some of Scotland's long-neglected canals and docklands has heralded a renaissance for some of our neglected industrial areas and seen a boom in new-build properties that have both city centre locations and a waterfront ambience.
