This was the point where boats travelling to the Forth and Clyde Canal originally left the Union Canal, bearing right to descend a series of eleven locks, basins and docks to Camelon, passing a chemical works, two foundries and an alum works on the way. The locks, basins and docks, and the industries, have all vanished, replaced by housing estates for the most part. A path follows the former towpath part of the way down the brae. The canal continues for a short distance to the left. For the reciprocal view see Image
