The photograph was taken from the junction with West Clyde Street / Rhu Road Lower (the street name changes at about that point). The short Camsail Avenue leads away from the photographer's position, and towards Ferniegair Avenue, which appears in the background.

Kidston Drive, on the left, runs parallel to Rhu Road Lower, which lies between it and the shore, and which can be seen in the background. Cairndhu Avenue is on the right.

This gate stands at the south-western corner of the grounds of Image, near the junction of Rhu Road Lower and Cairndhu Avenue: see Image (the buildings shown there can be seen in the background of the present photograph). The gate seems out of place now, but there used to be a lodge beside it; that lodge is shown on early OS maps, and was presumably created at about the same time as Cairndhu House itself, but it is now long gone. At the time of writing, another of the lodges of Cairndhu House is still in existence, not far to the south-east.

The photograph was taken from the junction with Image West Clyde Street becomes Rhu Road Lower at about that point. In the background, the Rosneath Peninsula can be seen on the other side of the Gare Loch. For other views, see Image and Image
