Off Belmont Road.

At Belmont Road, which leads to Stobhill Hospital. Ben Lomond is visible in the distance, above the towerblocks.

The tower blocks were completed in 1967. The two on the left are in Viewpoint Place, while the two on the right are on Balgrayhill Road. See Image for a view from a different angle.

One of three ponds in the park, which are part of a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation (SINC).

The pond is located not far to the north-east of Image, and is one of three ponds in the park; the other is Image As is explained there, Belmont Pond lies within a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation. It lies just to the east of what was originally the villa of New Mosesfield, built in 1838 for the bookseller James Duncan; that building became Mosesfield Museum until the mid-twentieth century, after which it was used as an Old Men's Club. There was also an Old Mosesfield, not far to the south. Also nearby, and presumably giving the pond its name, was Belmont House, which was built in 1888-89 for Hugh Reid (for whom, see Image); it was said to be Glasgow's highest house. It stood just north of New Mosesfield, but was demolished in the mid-1980s.

The photograph was taken from Image In the distance, near the left-hand edge of the picture, is the tower of the Image Also visible in the background, in the right-hand side of the photograph, is the lava plateau of the Kilpatrick Hills, extending from the Slacks (Image), which can be seen near the centre of the photo, as far as to the foot of the Campsie Hills (where the very distinctive horn of Dumgoyne (Image), visible above the rightmost house, is located). Out of shot, 50 metres to the south-west of the photographer's position, was one of the high flats of Viewpoint Place (Image); these stand in the highest part of Glasgow, and their upper floors must command a spectacular view.
