Kelvin Aqueduct, Navigable aqueduct in Maryhill, Glasgow, United Kingdom
The Kelvin Aqueduct spans 445 feet across the River Kelvin with four stone arches, each extending 50 feet and rising 62 feet above the water.
The construction of this engineering structure, completed in 1787 at a cost of £8,509, represented the largest aqueduct project in Britain during that period.
The aqueduct remains an enduring symbol of Industrial Revolution innovation, connecting the Forth and Clyde Canal while facilitating maritime commerce across central Scotland.
Visitors can access the structure via the Kelvin Walkway, which provides walking paths underneath the aqueduct and connects to surrounding green spaces.
The structure features distinct architectural elements, combining rustic masonry at lower levels with polished ashlar stones in its upper sections.
