Loch Katrine aqueduct, Lossnaugh junction chamber (Muylle Id no = 183): This incorporates a set of structures related to both aqueduct phases. At NS4896 9453 and NS4894 9451 (NS49SE 7.05) we have a junction chamber providing maintenance access to both the 1855 and 1885 aqueducts and to the short junction channel that connects them. They can also be used for re-routing water flow. This particular chamber has two sets of access stairs and glass rooflights (for lighting the aqueduct access)and Glasgow Corporation Waterworks design fencing and gates.
