Ruins of stables

The high wall that is visible in the background, in the right-hand side of the photo, can be seen from the other side as a much lower wall running alongside a cycle route that follows the side of the Forth and Clyde Canal: NS4573 : Ferrydyke Bascule Bridge (see that photo for the context of these ruins).

As indicated by the difference in height of the wall as seen from each side, these ruins are situated at a lower level than the cycle route. They were stables; the horses kept here were used to tow barges along the adjacent canal [information obtained from "Old Kilpatrick, Bowling & Milton Heritage Trail" leaflet].
