Scope and Content Canal basin, Port Dundas, Glasgow Port Dundas was the effective terminus of the Glasgow Branch of the Forth & Clyde Canal after 1790. The first, oval, basin was opened in that year, and was followed in the early 19th century by a second, rectangular, basin. Both attracted industries to their environs. This shows the second basin from the south-west. The lower buildings on the left were the site of the Eagle Foundry, the three-storeyed block being part of that business. The buildings from the tall flat-roofed structure to the right are part of the Port Dundas Distillery. This basin still survives, though it was cut off from the rest of the Glasgow Branch in the late 1960s by the construction of a new road. The buildings in this view have now almost all been demolished. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
