The Forth and Cart Canal was a short 0.5-mile (0.8 km) link canal which provided a short cut between the Forth and Clyde Canal at Whitecrook and the River Clyde opposite the mouth of the River Cart. It was intended to provide a transport link between the town of Paisley the Firth of Forth and Port Dundas Glasgow without having to go via Bowling some 7 miles (11 km) downstream on the Clyde. The Forth and Cart Canal was closed in 1893. Railway works destroyed most of it soon afterwards.
