The small post on the right carries a plaque which reads: Brog Trevor Cromie, 2019 Materials: White Marble Aggregate Concrete, Pigmented Concrete ‘Brog’ references 2 former Milton of Campsie industries, Lillyburn Pulp Works and Cmpsie Ware, located near This site. The Pulp Works produced exquisite paper pulp Packaging and novelty items such as charity boxes. In the Latter part of its production it also made paper pigeon Nests and established two pigeon lofts with the factory Grounds. Campsie Ware, started by Edward Langley in 1952, produced highly glazed ornaments, usually of birds And other small animals. ‘Brog’ aims to meld reference to both of these industries through the shared motif of the pigeon. ‘Brog’ is a hybrid creature; the workers at Campsie Ware once joked that they would keep on making birds ‘til they looked like frogs. The artwork in question is the white concrete pillar behind. It originally has a pigeon on the top, but sadly this has been vandalised or stolen.

The remains of some kind of pipe bridge spanning the Glazert have been left behind to become a real safety hazard. The factory from which they emerge has been demolished.

Woodland on the south with the village to the north.

Cycleway from Kirkintilloch to Strathblane following the route of a dismantled railway.

An unnamed burn flowing from the direction of Barrhill (west of the B822) passes under the modern walkway before emptying into the glazert a few feet behind the foreground pictured.

This is a pump from the Lilybank Pulp Works (UPC). Water was transmitted by pipe from reservoirs at 'The Well' on the Campsies and discharges after use into the River Glazert.

The path on the trackbed runs beside the Glazert Water. It was popular with fishermen today.

Object beside Campsie Road, Milton of Campstie. Could this be a water pump once used in one of the many mills that surrounded the town?
