Old photograph of the old dock in Grangemouth, South of Stirling, Scotland. The Old Dock was built under an Act of 1836. It was opened in 1843 as the first locked dock at Grangemouth. Originally a bustling port, trade flowed through the town with the construction of the Forth and Clyde Canal in the 18th century. Nowadays, the economy of Grangemouth is focused primarily on the large petrochemical industry.
