The aqueduct was built between March and October 1806.[2]
Design
It has three arches, of spans 10 feet (3.0 m), 25 feet (7.6 m) and 10 feet (3.0 m).[2] The river runs through the middle arch, and roadways for pedestrian or animal use through the side arches paved with large cobbles.[3][4] The road tunnels are approximately 260 feet (79 m) long under the canal.[4]
It is one of six aqueducts between Neptune's Staircase and Loch Lochy.[2]
