Background
Architecture
The aqueduct is 37.8 m long with a single arch span of 13.7 m, and 27.4 m wide, with a full-width canal that allows two boats to pass. In 1848, the Campsie Branch line was constructed, and crossed the canal through the arch of the aqueduct but above the water beneath. The sides of the aqueduct are arched, with a rise of about 1 in 10, a feature also employed on the Kelvin Aqueduct. The aqueduct and the bridge below are built from grey ashlar.
