Kilsyth, canal feeder
Originally the lade to the Garrel corn Mill. The mill has long closed down but this lade is still used as a canal feeder to deliver water along the contour to Townhead Reservoir which is used to store water for the Forth & Clyde Canal. British Waterways staff check the sluice regularly and open and close it as required in connection with the reservoir level. On the day the photo was taken there was no water coming through the sluice at all which is evident in the photo.
