Forth and Clyde Canal [12]
Formerly known as Hamiltonhill Basin, this was the terminus of the canal until 1790 when the 3 mile link to Port Dundas was completed. The buildings seen across the canal were the canal workshops, built in the late 18th century. They are listed, category B, and there is much detail and history at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB44020 The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. The Glasgow Branch of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6771
