Weir on the Shawend Burn
Before the weir was built in order to divert water to the canal feeder [just off to right of photo] and thence the Forth & Clyde Canal this burn flowed unimpeded round this meander and onward to meet Kelvin Water. On the upper reaches of this burn the O.S. have seen fit to name it the Banton Burn. See also http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1623000

Old Quarry at Shawend
This appears on the First Edition of the O.S. surveyed in 1859. www.nls.uk/maps/os/25inch/view/?sid=74983773 The stone from this quarry was probably used in the construction of the canal in the local area.

Craigmarloch Stables
Built in response to rising traffic on the canal from passenger boats as well as freight these were built around 1820. Forth & Clyde standard pattern stable blocks - part of the original building has been demolished. This was the second building and was set back from the canal as the ground adjacent to it was found to be too soft after the first building sank into the bog.

Levee on the Shawend Burn
There must be a flooding risk on the haugh from this burn - which becomes a fully fledged river in times of heavy spate.
