The aqueduct straddles the border between the West Lothian and Falkirk Council areas, so has two Historic Scotland listings.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Avon Aqueduct )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Avon Aqueduct, Edinburgh And Glasgow Union Canal Aqueduct (Ref:7468) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Avon Aqueduct (Ref:15321) )〕 The aqueduct is a category A listed building.〔〔
