John tells the story of the Kelvin Dock, the pub that served the community from 1848 until 2024.
Its name isn't a coincidence. It comes from the old graving dock on the Forth & Clyde Canal, just along from Lock 22, where ships were repaired back in the canal's working days.

🔍 Zoom in: the boatman.
This boatman, caught mid-pull on a rope, isn't the only one in the building. A stained glass panel made for the Burgh Halls just a year before the painting, by artist Stephen Adam, shows another boatman at work, this time walking a horse along the towpath.

The model tram above the door was a local landmark for years and was displayed in the People's Palace after the tenement was demolished in the 70s. It can now be found at Maryhill Burgh Halls.

In 1879 at Lock 22, James Lauder was 1 of 5 lock keepers responsible for every boat passing through Maryhill. One mistake at these gates could hold up traffic for hours.

🔍 Zoom in: the horse outside the cottage
One horse could pull around 50 times what it managed on a cart, which is exactly why almost every boat on this stretch of canal, before the 1870s, was horse-drawn rather than powered. This one's likely mid-break, resting before the next haul.

🖼️ Meet the painting behind our new exhibition
'The Canal Locks, Maryhill' was painted in 1879 by Andrew Maclaren Law, and it's a quiet, ordinary scene: a boatman at work, gates, boats, rooftops. Law was a lithographer by trade, someone used to working every inch of a surface, and you can see it.

🖼️ New exhibition alert!
Every picture tells a story, but you have to look closely to find it. That's exactly what we did with one painting from 1879, and it turned out to hold far more than we expected.
The exhibition opens this Thursday and has been put together with @ScottishCanals.
