IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Stirling Road, DUMBARTON, G82 2SS

The view is from near the site entrance of the bottling plant at Kilmalid, shortly before noon; I happened to be passing, outbound on an excursion, while a drama was unfolding. A number of emergency vehicles had already arrived, and they were soon augmented by the Scottish Ambulance Service helicopter (registration G-SASS) that can be seen here; it had just passed overhead. Later in the day, when I was submitting this picture, news reports stated that an industrial accident had occurred, and that, although there had been no fatalities, a man who had been trapped under machinery was taken to hospital to be treated for his injuries.

The lettering on the building is shown illuminated by the sun shortly before sunset. The view is from the neck of Dalquhurn Point: http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/14135

If a child was to draw a mountain, it would probably look like this. Viewed along a very green looking Vale of Leven from the top of Dumbarton Rock.

The view is from further along the path that is shown in Image The 1:25000 maps shows some of the structures that can be seen on the right. For a view from further ahead, see Image

The older (back) and recent (front) parts of the plant are at the centre of the picture. The older part has retained its Ballantine's logo. This is a distant view, from almost a mile off; it is difficult to obtain a good view of the site as a whole from nearby, but click on the end-note title for various closer views. The areas of housing are (near right) the newer parts of Dalquhurn and (right background) Bellsmyre, with part of the Long Crags forming the backdrop. A large industrial building on the right, directly between the two areas of housing, is not part of the Kilmalid plant, but is the Image Two domes seen indistinctly in the distance at the far right are part of Garshake Water Works: https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/4892

The view is from further along the path shown in Image This part of it is opposite the tip of Dalquhurn Point. For a view from further ahead, see Image

The view is from near a Image; in the foreground is an outflow just like the one shown in Image On the other side of the Leven is the tip of Dalquhurn Point.

This is the opposite view to Image, and it was taken from beside Image Followed in this direction, it leads to Stirling Road, which it meets near the Lion's Gate: Image

At the time, this was the main entrance to the site. A new two-way access road, with a new gatehouse, was to be created later. It would leave the existing road at Image, where there is currently a gate opening onto an open space with grass and trees: Image
