The Council waste bin is a late addition, however this part of Kirkintilloch was previously highly industrialised, and this brownfield site has been given a 'green' makeover. Just past the bend in the Luggie, was the Lion Foundry, famous as one of the UK suppliers to the GPO of the K6 Telephone Box. The Luggie Water eventually flows under the nearby Forth & Clyde canal before joining with the Glazert Water north of the town to form the River Kelvin, which then flows to join the River Clyde at Glasgow.
