Luggie Aqueduct and bridge from the northwest
The aqueduct was built by John Smeaton between 1768 and 1775 to carry the Forth & Clyde Canal over the Luggie Water. The river was later culverted and a bridge built over the river below the aqueduct for the Campsie Branch railway, which opened in 1848, to cross over the river and under the canal at the same spot. The railway closed in 1966, and the bridge is now part of the walkway beside (and over) the Luggie Water.
The structure is Category A listed http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB36655, https://canmore.org.uk/site/168444/forth-and-clyde-canal-kirkintilloch-luggie-water-aqueduct.
