Built in the early 19th century as part of the Caledonian Canal project, the Torcastle Aqueduct was constructed under the supervision of engineer Thomas Telford. It is remembered as a key engineering feature that facilitated the canal's passage over the Torcastle Burn, reflecting the ambitious infrastructure developments of the Scottish Enlightenment.
