Glasgow Bridge, Kirkintilloch

This bridge is halfway between Glasgow and Kilsyth and is marked on the first six-inch-to-the-mile (approximately 1:10000) OS map.

Their work on the canal is celebrated at its eastern extension at The Helix with two unique equine sculptures known as The Kelpies.

[5] The 'Stables' bar and restaurant was developed from the stables which supported the horses which serviced the canal work.

Aerial photography has however highlighted an area of around 20 m square, which could have been secured with the help of the turf rampart with its ditch.

This is on a raised piece of ground approximately mid-way between the Glasgow Bridge fortlet and the main Roman fort at Kirkintilloch.
