This is not the original one (Image), which was erected in 1928, and which was spliced partway up; this is its replacement. However, the symbolic weather vane, with crown and battle axe, is still present: Image The view is across Brucehill Road. Cardross Road runs left to right behind the flagstaff, and Castlehill Road leads uphill behind it. See Image for a view from another angle.
