This Is My Glasgow<p>The remains of the 1820s Craigmarloch Stables near Kilsyth. This was one of a number of identical stables built along the Forth and Clyde Canal in central Scotland to provide changes of the teams of horses used to pull fast passenger vessels known as Swifts. Capable of carrying up to 200 people, these Swifts could make the journey between Edinburgh and Glasgow in less than 8 hours at a time when it would take several days to make the same journey by road.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgow</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/craigmarloch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>craigmarloch</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/glasgowhistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>glasgowhistory</span></a></p>
