Cuningar Loop
The Cuningar Loop is a meander on the River Clyde at Dalmarnock in the Scottish city of Glasgow. The territory in the loop is actually part of the town of Rutherglen.
The first Glasgow Water Company's Act was obtained in 1806, and the company began to supply water early in 1809. Before the Victorian Loch Katrine aqueduct project was completed in the 1850s, it supplied water to Glasgow. Cuningar Loop was the location of several reservoirs that raised water from the Clyde and pumped it to a secondary reservoir at Sydney Street, from where it was distributed throughout the city. The Dalmarnock reservoirs were originally designed under the direction of Thomas Telford and James Watt. The derelict site has now been transformed into a country park, augmenting the 2014 Commonwealth Games village across the river.
A footbridge over the river connecting the west side of the new park to the Legacy Village area in Dalmarnock (and joining up with the Clyde Walkway and National Cycle Route 75 on the opposite bank) was completed in 2016.
