The earliest known reference to croquet in Scotland is the booklet called The Game of Croquet, its Laws and Regulations which was published in the mid-1860s for the proprietor of Eglinton Castle, the Earl of Eglinton.

In 1865 the ' Rules of the Eglinton Castle and Cassiobury Croquet ' was published by Edmund Routledge.

Many transit advocates believe that it would have been wiser either to build it using streetcars, as was originally planned, to allow for lower costs and more flexibility in route options or simply to extend the underground Bloor – Danforth line further into Scarborough ( for more details, including the proposal to combine it with the Eglinton Crosstown line, see Future below ).

As of 2012, the plan to connect the line with a line along Eglinton Avenue was dropped after Toronto City Council decided that light rail transit on Eglinton Avenue must not be constructed entirely underground as a premetro.

Despite the name, the canal was never completed down to Ardrossan, the termini being Port Eglinton in Glasgow and Thorn Brae in Johnstone.

The full length to Glasgow's Port Eglinton was complete sometime in 1811.

The canal ran from Port Eglinton ; and an inn was built there in 1816.

As The Countess of Eglinton docked at the Paisley wharf, there was a rush of people trying to get onto the boat.

Though construction had already begun on the Eglinton West subway in Toronto, a proposed rapid transit line to ultimately link the main north / south subway line of the city with the suburbs and airport, funding was cancelled shortly after Harris ' election.

From the 401 south to Eglinton, the roadway was to be in a trench, with the rapid-transit line in the middle.

The route south of Eglinton was never built and several variations of the plan were proposed.

By 1969, all but $ 10 million of the approved $ 76 million was spent, completing the roadway only to Lawrence Avenue, and the road bed to Eglinton Avenue.

At the time of cancellation in 1971, the expressway was paved to Lawrence Avenue while the portion running further south to Eglinton Avenue had been graded only and was given the nickname the " Davis ditch ".

Esther Shiner, who lived near the Lawrence intersection, was elected to North York Council in 1973 on a platform to get the expressway completed to Eglinton Avenue.

She headed the " Go Spadina " public campaign that was successful in persuading Metro, against the wishes of the City of Toronto, to pave the ditch and opened the road to Eglinton in 1976.
