Scope and Content Elevation of bascule bridge, Craigmarloch, Forth and Clyde Canal, Dunbartonshire This bascule bridge was built as part of the Forth Clyde Canal. It was one of the last of the canal's structures to retain original features. The bridge consists of two draw-bridges meeting in the middle operated by a system of counter-weights and hand-powered gears which are of a slightly different design on each bank. The Forth-Clyde 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.
