Slateford Aqueduct
The Slateford Aqueduct is a navigable aqueduct in Slateford, Edinburgh, Scotland.
==History==
It was designed by Hugh Baird, and is modelled Thomas Telford's Chirk Aqueduct, as well as advice from Telford.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Edinburgh, Union Canal, Slateford Aqueduct )〕 Different parts of the canal were tendered to contractors at different times, and the masonry for the Slateford Aqueduct was advertised to builders on 2 March 1818. Baird wrote to Telford regarding the ironwork, as he had received a visit from James Thomson, representing the company of William Hazledine, who had worked on the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct. Baird was unsure about using a contractor based so far away, and also whether the contract should be just for the delivery of the plates or the delivery and assembly.〔 On 3 April 1818, Hugh McIntosh was chosen to construct the aqueduct, as he was the contractor for the east end of the canal.〔 After Thomson sent an estimate to Telford for the iron on 30 April, a revised specification was chosen by Baird, the contract for which was advertised on 18 July, and tenders opened on 11 August.〔 The offer by the partnership of Messrs. Craven, Whitaker and Nowell, riding on the success of their building a stone bridge over the River Ouse, was accepted as being "by far the most eligible."〔
Construction had started by March 1819, after the laying of a foundation stone.〔 It lasted until 1822, and the canal opened that year.〔
It was listed as a category B listed building in 1970.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Union Canal Slateford Aqueduct over Inglis Green Road and Water of Leith. (ref:27958) )〕
