Known as Clydebank East, the towerblocks are, from left to right, Howcraigs Court, Newshot Court and Edmonstone Court. Each block contains 110 apartments. Occupation rates were around 50% in 2015, at which time it was decided by West Dunbartonshire Council that the entire estate should be demolished. The last residents moved out in September 2018 and demolition began shortly afterwards. Yoker railway station is in the lower left corner, the River Clyde is in the background.
