This is a view of Burn Street, Bonhill in the late 1800's, the open burn came from the Pappert hills behind Bonhill and ran down the side of the Quarry which lay just behind these houses. The burn was later covered over and runs into the river Leven. Nowadays only one or two modern houses survive this scene.
