Scope and Content Bascule bridge, Colinton Street, Forth & Clyde Canal, Glasgow This was a standard Forth & Clyde Canal two-leaf bascule bridge between the two Port Dundas basins on the Forth & Clyde Canal. It was still in operating condition in 1965. This shows the bridge from the east, with the original Port Dundas basin in the left background, and some of the wooden transit sheds which lined its north bank on behind the bridge. On the right is part of Dundashill Distillery, used for warehousing whisky in 1965. This bridge was demolished in 1967, together with the original basin and its associated warehouses, to make way for a new road linking with the M8 urban motorway. The second Port Dundas basin, in the foreground in this view, remains in water. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
