Summary

There were not many canals cut in Scotland, but they were magnificent and wonderfully varied in character: the Caledonian Canal; the Crinan Canal; the Union Canal; the Monkland Canal; the Forth & Clyde Canal. Many other canals were proposed but never became a reality. Others, such as the Dingwall Canal, the Aberdeenshire Canal and the Glasgow, Paisley and Ardrossan Canal, had already sunk into obscurity a hundred years ago, overtaken by the railways or other factors leading them into disuse. In this compact overview, the history of Scotland's canals, collectively and individually, is told and accompanied by evocative old photographs.
