Luggie Water
The river running through Kirkintilloch. The river naming is complex here. The two main feeders of Glasgow's Kelvin are the Glazert and Luggie. The Kelvin is somewhat smaller and joins the Glazert just upstream of its confluence with the Luggie. Image Like with the Forth/Teith to the north, the name sticks with the smaller river.
There is a small industrial estate here.

Memorial to a sad story
This obelisk was erected to the memory of Hazelton Robert Robson.
On 5th September 1876 a small child slipped into the Luggie Water close to this spot. Robson, aged 17, was one of those who rushed to help. He ran downstream and, attached to a clothes rope, jumped into the river and managed to catch hold of the child. While being pulled back to the side, the rope snapped and both child and would-be rescuer were washed downstream and drowned.
See Image for the inscription on the monument.
