Scope and Content View of interior of 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. A series of aqueducts carried the canal over rivers on its route. This is the interior of a late 18th-century stable block which has now been converted to a public house and restaurant. Stables were built alongside the canal to provide resting places for the horses which pulled the barges. 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.
