River Kelvin, Maryhill
Looking down from the aqueduct on the Forth and Clyde Canal. The piers in the river carried a branch line that served the nearby Temple Gas Works. There were other connections to the works and this route closed as long ago as 1920.

River Kelvin
Looking downstream from the Kelvin Aqueduct. The pillars look like the supports of a railway bridge, but none of the historic Ordnance Survey maps shows a bridge there.

Glimpses of an industrial past
Looking from the Kelvin Aqueduct (Forth and Clyde Canal) over the River Kelvin it is hard to believe this tranquil scene was once a hive of industry. To the left there used to be several railway lines and for a short time, Dawsholm station. This opened in 1896, but closed to passengers in 1908. The masonry pillars once carried a single railway track across the river to reach the Temple Gasworks three quarters of a mile to the west. The railway closed in 1966.
Beyond is a weir, which held back water to supply Kelvindale Paper Mills.

Forth and Clyde Canal [42]
The river seen from the path showing the piers of a dismantled railway.
The Kelvin Aqueduct carries the Forth & Clyde Canal over the River Kelvin. The aqueduct at some 400 feet in length was one of the largest built since Roman times when constructed in 1787-90 under the direction of engineer Robert Whitworth. Listed, category A, with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB32316
The Forth and Clyde Canal was completed in 1790 and it provided a route for vessels between the Firth of Forth and the Firth of Clyde at the narrowest part (35 miles, 56km) of the Scottish Lowlands. Closed in 1963, the canal became semi-derelict. Millennium funds were used to regenerate the canal. The main line of the canal is a Scheduled Monument with details at: http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/SM6773
