Scope and Content Maryhill Locks, Forth and Clyde Canal, Maryhill Road, Glasgow Robert Whitworth designed this flight of five locks, with intermediate basins, as part of the programme to complete the Forth and Clyde Canal by constructing a link from Stockingfield Junction to Bowling. This section opened in 1790. This shows the bottom lock, with its cut-down gates, with the bottom basin and the Kelvin Aqueduct beyond. As with the other locks at Maryhill, this one had been repaired in granite. The canal is at its designed height; it was later reduced. This flight of locks and the aqueduct were the largest and most expensive works on the whole canal. The locks were re-gated in the early 1990s, and the canal was reopened to navigation in 2001 as part of the Millennium Link project. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
