Summary edit

Description
English: Canadian Goldenrod (Solidago canadensis). As its common name suggests, this is a non-native species. It is quite common on rough and waste ground. This patch was growing beside a cycle path: 1449530.

There is a native species of Goldenrod (S. virgaurea), but it does not form the same sort of pyramidal inflorescence: https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/536399

[Other Goldenrods occur in Britain, all of them fairly similar in appearance to the species shown in my photo: they include S. gigantea (Early Goldenrod), which occurs in the same sort of environments as Canadian Goldenrod, and often grows with it. Another of the introduced species, Rough-stemmed Goldenrod (S. rugosa), is of local interest, since the very few areas where it has been recorded include Renfrewshire and Dunbartonshire (i.e. this area); however, the ones in my photo are not of that species.]
