Description: Engineering Nightmares Looking north along the alignment of the Campsie Branch Railway (two 'symbolic' rails have been laid within a brick mosaic), above is an aqueduct carrying the Forth & Clyde canal complete with fancy wrought-iron railings - and below, the Luggie Water as it makes its way unseen to join the River Kelvin. Which came first? The Luggie takes precedence, but the canal came next (opening from Kirkintilloch to Grangemouth in 1773). When the railway wanted to cross in 1848 it had to create this magnificent structure to allow navigation to pass over the tracks below.
