Bearyards Water Tower
This water tower is typical of many in west Central Scotland and particularly Glasgow. Erected on a high point in the town, it allowed the (then) Lanarkshire Water Board to pump water up the tower to fill the reservoir, which in turn gave all the houses nearby increased water pressure from their taps. In the mid 1990's One-2-One (now T-Mobile) received permission to add a mobile phone base station to the top, and after many planning appeals, Vodafone, Orange and O2 joined them, but their antennae are hidden behind the latticework 'top hat' on the tank roof.

Mavis Valley Railway Bridge
This little bridge is a treasure many local residents are unaware of unless they look carefully.
Above thunders the traffic on the A803 Kirkintilloch to Glasgow road, but this little bridge allowed the mineral railway (single track) access all the way from Cadder Sidings to the Mavis Valley mine workings.
Today, the bridge is used only as a pedestrian walkway under Kirkintilloch Road. The stone bridge portal can only be seen from this side (looking east) as the A803 was widened and a concrete portal added on the other side.
