Scope and Content View from south showing stables at Glasgow Bridge, Forth and Clyde Canal, East Dunbartonshire The Forth and Clyde Canal was Scotland's earliest major, and also longest, canal. It was built in stages between 1768 and 1791. Its structures decayed rapidly after it closed in 1962. Stable buildings, such as this late 18th-century block, were usually built alongside bridges across the canal, so that the horses pulling barges along the canal could be rested. This one has now been converted into a public house and restaurant. The Forth and Clyde Canal joined the Union Canal at Camelon near Falkirk, and allowed travel by water between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Both these canals are currently being restored to re-establish this canal link as a leisure resource. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
