The lade at Dalquhurn

The water is flowing towards the point from which the picture was taken; the lade outflow (Image) is some way behind the photographer. The works for which the lade was constructed are long gone, but the lade itself has been preserved as a feature of the new housing estate. (The picture was taken from Taylor Street. When this image was being submitted, not all scales of OS mapping showed the housing, which was new, and they showed nearby parts of the lade as still covered up; some parts of the lade were uncovered before construction of houses began, and it was decided that they should be left exposed to view.)
