Number 5 gasholder is one of the two remaining gasholders at Temple Gasholder Station, seen from the towpath of the Forth and Clyde Canal. Built in 1900 and capable of holding 141,584 cubic metres of gas, this holder and its companion number 4 are two of the last remaining examples of the 19th – early 20th century gas industry in Scotland and a reminder of the former industrial use of the site.
