Garshake Water Works
An Act of 1857 empowered Dumbarton Town Council to abstract water from the Overtoun Burn and to construct reservoirs at Garshake and the Black Linn. Further works, associated with the abstraction of water from Loch Lomond, were completed in 1960. A filter station, built on the Garshake site, was inaugurated in 1964.
