Printed hand-tinted postcard showing a view of Loch Katrine in Stirlingshire and Dunbartonshire.

Published by Blum & Degen, London, No 5728?, c.1905.

Postally unused.

Fair condition, with very slight corner bumps and light album marks, but noticeable amounts of pale foxing to both sides.

Loch Katrine on a very still and frosty morning. The water was like a mirror, and all that could be heard was songs of the birds looking forward to the coming Spring.

Looking across a mirror-smooth loch, we see an island with evergreen trees sitting in front of distant hills with some snow patches on the tops. The hills and the trees are perfectly reflected in the completely still water, as are the sky and small white clouds, giving a strong sense of symmetry.

These ventilation shafts mark an underground section of the route close to the Mugdock and Craigmaddie Reserviors where the water was held before being delivered to the city itself. The same system is still used to supply the majority of the city's freshwater to this day, more than 150 years after it was created.

Ventilation shafts for the Loch Katrine Aqueduct at Mugdock Country Park on the outskirts of Glasgow. Starting in 1855, the Glasgow Corporation created a system to bring freshwater from Loch Katrine, 36 miles to the north, into the city itself. The system was designed so that no pumping was required and instead water was solely delivered across the whole distance by gravity alone.

Two large, but low stone towers with a metal cage over their open tops. One is in the foreground, the other is off in the distance.

Autumn today reflected in the mirror-calm waters of Mugdock Reservoir on the outskirts of Glasgow. Built in 1856, this reservoir created as part of a system designed during the Victorian era to provide clean, fresh water from Loch Katrine, around forty miles away in the hills of the Trossachs, to Glasgow. The same system still provides the city with water to this day.

The Craigmaddie Reservoir end of the Loch Katrine Aqueduct which uses gravity to transport fresh water around 30 miles from Loch Katrine in the Trossachs to Glasgow. The first such aqueduct was opened in 1855, with a second being added in 1885, and they still supply the majority of the city's water to this day.

We clambered down to the eastern shore of this spit of land, and I was of course delighted to find various boulders strewn around. On went my ultra-wide lens, and I began making compositions.
