Black Cart Water can be seen passing under the motorway at Blackstoun Farm. The River Gryfe can be seen to the top right, just before it meets the Black Cart. The former Royal Ordnance Factory at Bishopton is hidden by the low cloud. The Glasgow to Gourock & Wemyss Bay railway line runs parallel to the motorway at this point.
