The Glen Loy Aqueduct (or Glenloy Aqueduct) carries the Caledonian Canal over the River Loy in Inverness-shire, 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 ft, 25 ft and 10 ft.[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 ft long under the canal.[3]
It is one of six aqueducts between Neptune's Staircase and Loch Lochy.[1]
