Cuningar Loop

The Cuningar Loop is a meander on the River Clyde at Dalmarnock. The first Glasgow Water Company's Act was obtained in 1806, and the company began to supply water early in 1809.

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.
