The Forth and Clyde
Canal is a canal opened in 1790, crossing central Scotland; it provided
a route for the seagoing vessels of the day between the Firth of Forth and the Firth
of Clyde at the narrowest part of the Scottish Lowlands. It is 35 miles long and it runs from the River Carron at Grangemouth
to the River Clyde at Bowling, and had an important basin at Port Dundas in
Glasgow. Source
