Monkland Canal, Coatbridge

Monkland Canal, Coatbridge
The Monkland Canal was a 12 1⁄4-mile-long (19.7 km) canal designed to bring coal from the mining areas of Monklands to Glasgow in Scotland. In the course of a long and difficult construction process, it was opened progressively as short sections were completed, from 1771. Quoted from Wikipedia.

A stunning black & white image set off so nicely by the swan Joe,
the boat looks to be a conversion of a sea going craft

Thanks for your very kind comment, Roger. The Vulcan at Summerlee is a replica of the original, which a was horse-drawn passenger barge that plied its trade on Scottish canals. Cheers, Joe

That's one of the earliest canals I have seen Joe. A superb shot with a mood that befits its history...and a swan! Perfect! Cheers, Rosa.

Excellent shot, Joe. Does that read Ironworks Gallery? If so, what do they show there?

Yes, Andy, the museum and gallery are situated on the site of the former Summerlee Ironworks. The themes of their exibits are iron, steel, coal and engineering. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe
