Historical perspective for Gatehouse of Fleet   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29) It made a grand effort, too, by deepening Fleet Water to the sea and otherwise, to establish a great commercial trade, and seemed for a time to menace the Glasgow of the West with the energetic rivalry of a Glasgow of the South. Still, it consists of neat and regular streets, and presents, in its main body or Gatehouse proper, a sort of miniature of the original New Town of Edinburgh, being one of the handsomest towns in Galloway, equalled indeed by very few in Scotland. The improvement on the Fleet's navigation includes a canal or straight cut along the river, made at a cost of about £3000, and enables vessels of 60 tons' burden to come up to the town. www.geo.ed.ac.uk /scotgaz/towns/townhistory367.html   (670 words)
