![Port Dundas canal basin. This is a view along part of the Port Dundas canal basin, which opened in 1790 as an extension to the Glasgow Branch of the Forth and Clyde Canal. The picture was taken from the western end of [[2135907]].The chimney and the buildings to its right belong to Port Dundas Distillery, which was closed in 2010. There had been a distillery here for just short of 200 years; see [[1516633]] and [[1171410]]. The chimney was demolished in September 2011; see the last-cited link for further changes.In the 1860s, Hundredacre Hill Dairy was located just to the north of Port Dundas Distillery; the area to the east of the distillery was occupied by Glasgow Glass Works (Borron, Price & Co.), and by Cowlairs Distillery.In the middle distance, on the right, an overgrown area can be seen beside an old quay. At the end of the nineteenth century, the southern (nearer) end of that area was used as a timber basin; coke kilns were located at its northern end.For a similar earlier view, see [[1171405]]. by Lairich Rig – 11 October 2010](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/02/13/60/2136076_b6ac6e33_120x120.jpg)
