The prison closed in 2007 and a new, substantially larger medium security prison was constructed on the same site. This was also the site of the Former RAF Bishopbriggs which was a barrage balloon depot. The late evening sun highlights the course of the Antonine Wall which runs from the bottom left to the top right of the photo. This was the northern limit of the Roman Empire http://www.antoninewall.org/ . See a similar view of the prison under construction here Image
