Scope and Content Forth & Clyde Canal, Canal Offices, No 174 North Spiers Wharf, Glasgow, from west This view from the west, taken in 1979, shows the office built for the Forth & Clyde Canal Co in about 1812, to the north of the Collector's House, the first building at Port Dundas. To the rear are parts of the Dundashill Distillery, founded in about 1811 by Daniel McFarlane. This building was latterly the office for warehouses used for maturing and blending Scotch whisky by the Craighall Bonding Co Ltd, a subsidiary of the Highland Distillers Co Ltd. These warehouses had been converted from a grain mill and sugar refinery. The office was restored in the 1980s by Windex Ltd. The Forth & Clyde Canal was built between 1768 and 1790 to take sea-going vessels across central Scotland, avoiding the long and hazardous voyage round the north of Scotland. The Glasgow Branch was built in 1775-7 to Hamiltonhill, and extended to Port Dundas in 1790. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
