Scope and Content Stables, Forth & Clyde Canal, Glasgow Bridge, East Dunbartonshire This block of stables was one of four built by the Forth & Clyde Canal Co in the early 1830s to provide relays of horses for their high-speed service of flyboats between Port Dundas, Glasgow, and Lock 16, Camelon. The others were at Lambhill, Shirva and Craigmarloch. This shows the stables from the south-west. The horses were kept on the ground floor of the left-hand section, with a hayloft on the first floor. On the right was housing for the horsekeepers. The canal is in the foreground. This building was in the mid-1960s the best-preserved of the four stable blocks. It had survived as a bridgekeeper's house for the adjacent manually-operated swing bridge, but after the canal closed in 1962 it fell into decay. It has been converted to a pub-restaurant as the Stables Inn. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
