Inside the £20m refurb for the Katrine Aqueduct that helped rid the nation of cholera

It was hailed as one of the world s greatest engineering feats of its day and helped transform the health of citizens across the central belt. Opened by Queen Victoria on October 14, 1859, the original Katrine Aqueduct was an integral part of the loch that has been the primary water reservoir for much of the city of Glasgow and its surrounding areas, serving more than 1.3m people. The Loch Katrine system - now made up of two aqueducts that are 25 and 23 miles in length from the loch to treatment works north of Glasgow, provides about 110 million gallons of water a day. Now a £20m upgrade to the original Victorian aqueduct has been unveiled - and the great-granddaughter of the man who helped build the megastructure has welcomed the development.

Sign Up The great-granddaughter of a man who helped build a Victorian aqueduct has welcomed a £20 million upgrade of the megastructure. The Katrine Aqueduct in the Trossachs was built in 1859 and today serves more than 1.3 million people in Greater Glasgow and the central belt. A second aqueduct was built between 1885 and 1901 to accommodate the rapid expansion of Glasgow in the late 19th century. Together they take water from Loch Katrine and use gravity, with no need for pumping, to transport it to Milngavie and Balmore Water Treatment Works north of Glasgow.
