The Kelvin Aqueduct in Maryhill. Opened in 1790, it carries the Forth and Clyde Canal over the River Kelvin. This canal was the world's first manmade sea-to-sea water way designed to provide a shortcut for shipping, making it the forerunner of the much larger Suez and Panama Canals.

As this markers shows, the Forth and Clyde Canal drops an impressive 156 feet between Maryhill in Glasgow and Bowling, the point about ten miles away where the it meets the sea. This is roughtly the same vertical drop as Niagara Falls. This descent is achieved by the use of twenty separate locks.
