![Forth and Clyde Canal [1]. Seen from Craighall Road is one end of the drop lock leading into the Port Dundas canal basin complex. The lock was constructed in 2006 to allow the Port Dundas basin, cut off by the construction of the M8 motorway, to be re-connected to the rest of the canal. Beyond the lock the basin complex is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6689The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. by Michael Dibb – 25 June 2019](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/24/35/6243560_52b47d9d_120x120.jpg)
