NR89SW 40.05 8200 9120

Dunnardry Locks [NAT] (centred NR 8196 9116)

OS 1:10,000 map, 1989.

The conventional swing-bridge over this lock was replaced by a hand-operated rolling cantilever-bridge (NR89SW 40.01) in 1900, as the foundations of the lock were evidently incapable of supporting the weight of the former bridge.

RCAHMS 1992.

This lock is clearly visible on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire 1873, sheet clx) and on the 2nd edition of the OS 6-inch map (Argyllshire 1900, sheet clx.NE). It is clearly marked as Lock No.11 on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1989) and on the OS 1:10000 raster map (ND).

Information from RCAHMS (MD) 21 June 2001.
