On the riverbed looking at where an ancient single arch span bridge crossed the river. The western abutment is still intact and can be seen to the left of the river. This bridge featured on Timothy Pont's manuscript of the area drawn in 1595 and was the main crossing on the road from Glasgow to Hamilton until the turnpike road further upriver (now the A74) was opened in the 19th. century.
