Ebenezer Hall, Kirkintilloch
This rustic building is one of the oldest still standing in the town and has been converted from a typical weaver's workplace (one of the original trades before heavy industry arrived) and the building dates from 1830. It has been a place of worship belonging to a New Testament based Brethren Assembly for many years. Note the unusual placement of the extractor fan, in the middle of the nearest window... was it installed by a height-challenged glazier? The main hall is to the rear, and not visible from the main road. The Library is behind the other two windows. Thanks to SM for the information update.

Luggie Water, Kirkintilloch
The Council waste bin is a late addition, however this part of Kirkintilloch was previously highly industrialised, and this brownfield site has been given a 'green' makeover. Just past the bend in the Luggie, was the Lion Foundry, famous as one of the UK suppliers to the GPO of the K6 Telephone Box.
The Luggie Water eventually flows under the nearby Forth & Clyde canal before joining with the Glazert Water north of the town to form the River Kelvin, which then flows to join the River Clyde at Glasgow.

Cleared Rhododendrons
On the east bank of the Luggie Water. The bare ground under where the plants extended shows just how large these Rhododendrons had grown.
