Scope and Content Hamiltonhill Basin Workshops, Applecross Street, Forth & Clyde Canal, Glasgow The history of this complex is obscure. It is situated on the north side of Hamiltonhill Basin, the original terminus of the Glasgow Branch of the Forth & Clyde Canal, opened in 1777. One section of the complex may have been an office and warehouse of that period. This shows the western part of the main range of the workshops from the south-west. The barge was used for maintenance, and the device behind it is a weedcutter, used in summer to keep waterweed growth under control. The site was probably developed as workshops after the canal was extended to Port Dundas in 1790, removing pressure on berth space at Hamiltonhill. The administrative offices moved into a new building at the eastern side of the site in the mid-1990s. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
