Description
The Luggie Water Aqueduct, part of the Forth and Clyde Canal, was engineered by John Smeaton and constructed between 1768 and 1775 in the eastern section of Dunbartonshire. This aqueduct features a single wide segmental arch that carries the canal over a roadway, which is supported by a tunnelled low bridge with two arches over the Luggie Water. The structure is built entirely of grey ashlar stone.
The aqueduct has a key-stoned arch, and the walling above follows the curve of the waterway, featuring a band course that is supported on stone blocks. It is adorned with decorative cast-iron railings. The bridge has a bull-faced and rusticated facing from the mid-19th century, which relates to the former London and North Eastern Railway track, although it may also be an extension of an earlier bridge.
