Archaeology Notes

NS56NE 4956.03 55007 69488

The mains water pipes cross the railway where it passes through the Knightswood tunnel (NS56NE 2556) which was constructed in 1886. It is probable that the tunnel goes under the pipes at this point. There are no visible signs of this crossing.

Information from Jelle Muylle, engineer carrying out survey of sites and structures of the Glasgow Corporation Loch Katrine Waterworks scheme for RCAHMS, Historic Scotland funded, December 2007/January 2008.
