Old Basin House
Old Basin House is a C-Listed Building that was originally built in 1790s. The building has had many uses in the past but was left derelict following a fire in 1997. Historically the site was the terminus of the Forth & Clyde Canal. It is believed that engineer Hugh Baird once resided here.
With the support of Regeneration Capital Grant Funding & Historic Scotland funding was raised to restore the building to its original glory.
