The Glen Loy Aqueduct (or Glenloy Aqueduct) carries the Caledonian Canal over the River Loy, near Muirshearlich, between Banavie and Gairlochy.
History
The aqueduct was built between March and October 1806.[1]
Design
It has three arches, of spans 10 feet (3.0 m), 25 feet (7.6 m) and 10 feet (3.0 m).[1] The river runs through the middle arch, and roadways for pedestrian or animal use through the side arches paved with large cobbles.[2][3] The road tunnels are approximately 260 feet (79 m) long under the canal.[3]
It is one of six aqueducts between Neptune's Staircase and Loch Lochy.[1]
