Designed by Robert Whitworth, one of John Smeaton’s supervising engineers on the Forth and Clyde Canal project. The foundation stone was laid on 16 June 1787 by Archibald Spiers, the chairman of the canal committee. When opened in 1790 was Britain’s largest aqueduct. The aqueduct is a scheduled ancient monument and was brought back into use in 2000 as part of the Canal Millennium project.
