Scope and Content Rolling bridge, Dunardry, Crinan Canal, Argyll The Crinan Canal was built as a ship canal between 1794 and 1809, to designs by John Rennie. This hand-operated rolling bridge was built in 1900 to replace a swing bridge which was too heavy for its setting. This view shows the bridge in the open position, from the north. Note the massive side beams, and the timber deck. The Crinan was built to avoid the voyage round the Mull of Kintyre, a dangerous one in the days of sail. It is now used mainly by yachts. This bridge is unique on the Scottish canal system. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
