The picture was taken from a path that leads up into Bellsmyre. As the name suggests, Barloan Toll was located on the boundary of the burgh.
When trams were running in Dumbarton (from 1907 to 1928), there was a branch line to Barloan Toll (now the site of the roundabout). The branch line left the main line at Church Place (beside NS3975 : Dumbarton Riverside Parish Church) and followed NS3975 : Church Street, Dumbarton, Strathleven Place, and NS4075 : Bonhill Road [see "Dumbarton's Trams and Buses", A.W.Brotchie and R.L.Grieves, 1985].
