The canal basin sits next to the Hillhead Bridge (e.g. NS6574 : Hillhead Bridge), seen centre left in this picture with a big blue sign saying "Hillhead Basin". From the Canmore database of historic sites we learn that this was originally Kirkintilloch Harbour, dating from the 18th century: LinkExternal link
