Scope and Content Bascule Bridge, Ferrydyke, Forth & Clyde Canal, West Dunbartonshire This bridge is on the western section of the Forth & Clyde Canal, built between 1786 and 1790 to designs by Robert Whitworth. It was built to give access to a small-boat ferry across the River Clyde, long disused by 1966. The bridge is of the standard Forth & Clyde Canal double-bascule type. This shows the bridge from the south-east, with the part of the bridge-keeper's house on the left. This section of the canal was still at its full depth in 1966. Other parts had been reduced in level since closure of the canal in 1962. This bridge was repaired in the 1990s, using steel for the railings instead of wood as an anti-vandal measure. The Forth & Clyde Canal was reopened throughout in 2001as part of the Millennium Link project. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
