Babtie, Shaw and Morton was a firm of civil engineers based in Glasgow, Scotland, and noted for its work on bridges, dams and reservoirs. It took its name following the 1906 merger of Babtie & Bonn (a partnership founded by John Babtie and Carl Bonn in 1897) and Shaw & Morton (founded by William Shaw and Hugh Morton).〔''Babtie, Shaw & Morton'', Dictionary of Scottish Architects, 2008, http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=100563〕〔''John Taylor Babtie'', Dictionary of Scottish Architects, 2008, http://www.scottisharchitects.org.uk/architect_full.php?id=100564〕 Notable design projects include the Backwater Reservoir, Kielder Water,〔North Tyne, Kielder Reservoir http://www.bridgesonthetyne.co.uk/kdr.html〕 and the Harland and Wolff shipbuilding dock in Belfast.
