Oil Pumping Station, Hungryside
Although looking like a farm shed, the building is actually a historical pumping station. According to Canmore https://canmore.org.uk/site/164262/hungryside-bridge-oil-pumping-station, the US Navy built an oil pipeline from Old Kilpatrick to Grangemouth at the end of World War I and there were pumping stations at Hungryside and also at Castlecary. See http://historicalrfa.org/57-stories/special/2085-hm-oil-fuel-depot-old-kilpatrick for a fuller description of the pipeline.

Hungryside Bridge
Originally a lifting bridge on the Forth & Clyde Canal, the road deck hinged on the right to allow the masts of boats and sailing ships passage along the canal. Closed in 1962, the canal was reopened again after Millennium funding. The bridge however does not open, it was decided that the clearance from water level to the bridge deck was high enough for recreational purposes.
