Scope and Content Bascule bridge and bridge-keeper's cottage, Baird's Brae and Applecross Street, Glasgow This bridge marks the point where the original Glasgow branch of the Forth and Clyde Canal, opened to Hamiltonhill in 1777, meets the extension to Port Dundas, opened in 1790. This shows the bridge, of the standard Forth and Clyde Canal type, from the Port Dundas side. The bridge-keeper's house is on the right, with the Forth and Clyde Canal offices and workshops behind and to the left. The bridge was renewed in steel and wood as part of the Glasgow Canal Project, opened in 1990 and is now hydraulically operated. A new office for British Waterways has also been built, partly on the site of the bridge-keeper's house. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
