Dry-stone wall
The line of the wall is marked on the 1:25000 map; it is to the west of the summit of Craigend Hill.
Not surprisingly, the wall is also marked on the first-edition map (surveyed in 1857): on Renfrew Sheet VIII.1, it can be seen heading west from a small semicircular copse that has the numeral 46 written in it.
At present, houses in the Linburn area of Erskine are to the south of the wall; some of them can be seen in the right background.

Path on the west side of Craigend Hill
The houses just to the left (south) of the path are in the Linburn area of Erskine.
The central part of the skyline is taken up by (directly behind the people on the path) the broad top of Barscube Hill (Image) and (adjoining it on the right) the area of high ground that is immediately to the NW of the top of that hill (Image).
For a view back up that path, see Image

A View To Linburn Wood
A view of a small wood, known as Linburn Wood, from Craigend Hill. The footpath links the former Scottish Special Housing Association (SSHA) area of Erskine with the private housing of Linburn. This small wood hosts a range of wildlife including many bird species and the common weekend organism Teenagerus drunkus.

Wind turbine, Craigend
They are usually bigger than this these days. I received a mail from Craig Doogan with further information.

The wind turbine is a 2.5 kW wind turbine that is used to provide additional power to St John Bosco's Primary School. The turbine is the first of its kind within Renfrewshire and has proved to be an invaluable resource to provide energy and teach the children about renewable energy.

The top of Craigend Hill
For an earlier picture, taken from about 70 metres to the north-east, see Image
OS maps give the name as "Craigend Hill", and signs in the area as "Craigends Hill". I would take whichever of the two names locals use to refer to the hill as correct.
