Broomhill & Lanfine Hospitals, Kirkintilloch
A beautiful building - but the future it faces seems to be demolition, having been a target for vandals over the years. The original building on the site was purchased in 1876 and opened for business. It catered for patients suffering from tuberculosis, cancer, chronic rheumatism and other incurable conditions. Paupers were not to be admitted. Additions to the main building increased the number of patients that could be treated. In 1904 the adjacent Lanfine house was incorporated into the hospital complex and Lanfine Home was opened.
Both hospitals closed in 1995, after 119 years serving the public.

Confluence of the Glazert & Kelvin
Looking east from the footbridge that replaced the original Campsie Branch railway, the water below is the River Kelvin, which makes its way to the River Clyde in the centre of Glasgow. In the distance you can see where the Glazert Water (left) joins the River Kelvin (right). With the Luggie water similarly joining the Kelvin a few hundred metres downstream this confluence was instrumental in causing flooding in to new homes that developers erected on the Kelvin flood plain. The local council then had to spend millions in building a flood prevention scheme to protect them.

Confluence of Glazert and Kelvin waters
Just north of the Kirkintilloch town centre. The Kelvin name carries the day after these two waters meet but a blind dog would notice that the Glazert is the major waterway and the Kelvin a tributary of it.

New houses, Broomhill
New houses, some recently completed, others still under construction. Part of a new development by Cala Homes at Broomhill, Kirkintilloch. The houses are built up above bunds to prevent flooding from the nearby River Kelvin. The ground on the left has been left as an area where the river can flood - which it has just done.
