Upstream of the thread mills, on one side of the river is the modern Ciba Geigy drugs factory, while the other side, which was the site of lime and whin quarrying at the time of the industrial revolution and later a landfill site, has now become a country park, known as Jenny's Well Nature Reserve. I spotted a heron and a mallard, neither of which I was able to photograph.
Another view at the nature reserve.
An old mill lade on the River White Cart.
This ran into the Jenny's Well Laundry, which is now a ruin, though the chimney still stands.
Looking upriver towards the south side of Glasgow.
This aqueduct was built from 1806 to 1809 by Thomas Telford to carry the Paisley and Johnstone Canal over the River White Cart. The canal was converted to a railway in 1881 and now the aqueduct carries trains.
