Hello
Does anyone have a map of the route the canal took? Or can anyone describe the route - I gather it came out more or less at where the County Garage is but didn't actually reach the sea. Any info would be great. Ta!

Try http://www.kintyremag.co.uk
It will state that the site has closed,but if you go in to the archive for February 1999 you will find an article by John R.E.Cormack which may answer your question. :)

Little bit more information.In a guide to Kintyre written by Norman Newton,there is a brief section about the canal.It states that the canal terminated at the north end of Glebe Street,near to the gas works.
