Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Millennium Link Monument The Millennium Link was a project to restore and join the Forth and Clyde Canal and the Union Canal, with the Falkirk Wheel (NS8580) providing the link between the two.
The monument shown here stands near Lock 40 at Bowling Harbour, right at the western end of the re-opened Forth and Clyde Canal. On the other side of the country, a similar monument stands at the eastern end, beside Lock 2. The wide base of the monument bears, on its upper white part, the words "THE MILLENNIUM LINK". Below that, some metal strips (a few are now missing) are wound around the shiny metal part of the base. The topmost one recorded that the Forth and Clyde Canal was re-opened on 26 May 2001, and that the Union Canal was to open, along with the Falkirk Wheel, in 2002. Below that, the names of various sponsors were listed. Its location seems appropriate, in that the first-edition OS map of 1864 shows a flagstaff at the same spot. For a closer look at the top of the monument, see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1423310 In the distance, a little promontory can be seen projecting behind and to the left of the base of the monument; it is possible to make out a small upright structure there: this is the obelisk of 1941631. [The Millennium Link Monument lies only a few metres within the OS gridsquare, and the photographer was located more or less on the gridline.] |
