Scope and Content Maryhill Locks, Forth and Clyde Canal, Maryhill Road, Glasgow As part of the programme to complete the Forth and Clyde Canal by constructing a link from Stockingfield Junction to Bowling, Robert Whitworth designed this flight of five locks, with intermediate basins. This section was opened in 1790. This shows the bottom gates of the second-top lock, with water pouring over the left-hand gate, which has been cut down to reduce the depth of water in the basin above. 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.
