Download or read book The Forth and Clyde Canal written by Thomas J. Dowds and published by Dundurn. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Forth and Clyde Canal, completed in 1790, was by far the largest engineering project that had ever been seen in Scotland. It allowed coal and machinery to travel East and grain to travel West. Passengers could travel between Glasgow and Edinburgh in greater comfort than by stagecoach, and it produced employment along its entire route. But it required capital on a scale previously unknown; it required the collaboration of Edinburgh, Glasgow and London; it required new technology; and it encountered its full measure of constructional problems. It took 22 years to build.The Forth and Clyde Canal enjoyed half a century of success before it was eclipsed by the railways. Although the passenger trade was lost, and much of the freight also, the canal struggled on for another century before the rise of road transport resulted in its decline. Now, after a long period of neglect, and sporting the spectacular Falkirk Wheel, it enjoys new life as an imaginative leisure resource.Thomas J. Dowds tells the story of the rise, fall and rise again of this landmark in Scottish history.

Download or read book Waterways and the Cultural Landscape written by Francesco Vallerani and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-11 with total page 271 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water control and management have been fundamental to the building of human civilisation. In Europe, the regulation of major rivers, the digging of canals and the wetland reclamation schemes from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries, generated new typologies of waterscapes with significant implications for the people who resided within them. This book explores the role of waterways as a form of heritage, culture and sense of place and the potential of this to underpin the development of cultural tourism. With a multidisciplinary approach across the social sciences and humanities, chapters explore how the control and management of water flows are among some of the most significant human activities to transform the natural environment. Based upon a wealth and breadth of European case studies, the book uncovers the complex relationships we have with waterways, the ways that they have been represented over recent centuries and the ways in which they continue to be redefined in different cultural contexts. Contributions recognise not only valuable assets of hydrology that are at the core of landscape management, but also more intangible aspects that matter to people, such as their familiarity, affecting what is understood as the fluvial sense of place. This highly original collection will be of interest to those working in cultural tourism, cultural geography, heritage studies, cultural history, landscape studies and leisure studies.

Download or read book Map of Inland Waterways of Scotland written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of this new and comprehensive map was prompted by the redesign of our chart C23 East Coast of Scotland. The plan of the Caledonian Canal was taken out of that chart and now becomes part of this map which also covers the Forth and Clyde Canals, Crinan Canal and an overview map showing the inter-relationship between the Scottish waterway system. It is a comprehensive reference to the waterways, embellished by the usual notes on dimensions, restrictions and formalities. The map provides all the necessary information for the yachtsman crossing between the east and west coasts of Scotland. On the reverse side, Jane Cumberlidge, who edited the map, has written interesting notes on the background and history of the waterways and also gives some indication of places to see and visit.

Book excerpt: For a hundred and fifty years, between the plod of packhorse trains and the arrival of the railways, canals were the high-tech water machine driving the industrial revolution. Amazing feats of engineering, they carried the rural into the city and the urban into the countryside, and changed the lives of everyone. And then, just when their purpose was extinguished by modern transport, they were saved from extinction and repurposed as a 'slow highways' network, a peaceful and countrywide haven from our too-busy age. Today, there are more boats on the canals than in their Victorian heyday. Writer and slow adventurer Jasper Winn spent a year exploring Britain's waterways on foot and by bike, in a kayak and on narrowboats. Along a thousand miles of 'wet roads and water streets' he discovered a world of wildlife corridors, underground adventures, the hardware of heritage and history, new boating communities, endurance kayak races and remote towpaths. He shared journeys with some of the last working boat people and met the anglers, walkers, boaters, activists, volunteers and eccentrics who have made the waterways their home. In Britain most of us live within five miles of a canal, and reading this book we will see them in an entirely new light.

Download or read book British Canals written by Joseph Boughey and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-05-30 with total page 441 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first edition of British Canals was published in 1950 and was much admired as a pioneering work in transport history. Joseph Boughey, with the advice of Charles Hadfield, has previously revised and updated the perennially popular material to reflect more recent changes. For this ninth edition, Joseph Boughey discusses the many new discoveries and advances in the world of canals around Britain, inevitably focussing on the twentieth century to a far greater extent than in any previous edition of this book, while still within the context of Hadfield's original work.
