Taken from the river bed - which here in low water is about ankle deep - at its confluence with the Shotts Burn. The North Calder is on the left coming from the Monkland Glen and the Shotts Burn comes from the right after flowing under an old single arch span called Blackhouse Bridge (under threat of demolition due to its condition). For photo of the latter and local rambler Jim Casssidy's single handed campaign to save it see http://airdrierambler.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/right-of-way-under-threat-gartness-to-monklands-bridge/
