Forth and Clyde Canal [43]
The weir on the river just downstream from the aqueduct.
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
