Title

Milngavie Waterworks

Description

This walk, organised by the Milngavie Heritage group, provided the opportunity to discover how the Victorians resolved the epidemic problems of their growing cities, such as Glasgow, by harnessing natural resources i.e. Loch Katrine, to provide plentiful supplies of fresh clean water for its citizens.

The Milngavie Water Treatment Works was completed in 1859 and is located in a building dating from the original scheme to supply the City of Glasgow with water from Loch Katrine. The plant was fully modernised during the 1970s and additional new equipment installed in 1988-89. The adjacent Mugdock Reservoir was opened as part of the 1859 scheme. Craigmaddie Reservoir nearby was opened in 1896.
