Scope and Content In the foreground is the Muirton Basin at the north end of the Caledonian canal, completed by Telford in 1822. To the right are the 4 Muirton Locks, shown on the 1st edition OS. The A862 crosses the canal on the bridge built in 1935 by Sir William Arrol & co, this replaced an earlier bridge built in 1816. After crossing the canal the road continues into Inverness as Telford Street, with two large distilleries on either side of the road - Glen Albyn Distillery on the L (W) and Glen Mohr Distillery on the R. A branch railway ran along the east side of the Muirton basin. During WW1 there was a US submarine depot in that area. Title and Scope & Content contributed by North of Scotland Archaeological Society (2021).
