This is a closer view of the building that is shown in NS4176 : Track to Maryland Farm. At the time of writing, neither the building nor the mound behind it are labelled on any OS maps, but the mound has the appearance of a covered reservoir, and was associated with NS4176 : Garshake Water Works.

A booklet describing the inauguration of Garshake Filter Station by Provost John Campbell on 21st November, 1964, provides further details; in a schematic map in that booklet, the structure shown in my photograph is called Maryland Tank. As described there, it was a high-level water storage tank which served the higher-lying areas of the Burgh of Dumbarton. It was, at that time, linked to Kipperoch Tank (NS37717742).
