For further details, see NS4276 : Remains of a turbine house and NS4276 : Remains of a turbine house, which are views in the opposite direction along the same ruin. The present photograph provides further context; one of the woodland walks of the Overtoun Estate can be seen in the foreground, on the right. Ahead, that path curves to the left, disappearing behind the far end of the turbine house. In the left foreground, part of a makeshift shelter is visible.

On the other side of the path from the turbine house, the land slopes down towards the Overtoun Burn, which is unseen in this view.

The area appears wet in this photograph, and it is. Many days of heavy rain had caused some flooding in the town (Dumbarton). Here, in the higher ground of the Overtoun Estate, flooding was less of a problem, but the prolonged rain had caused several small landslips, which damaged or destroyed some sections of this network of paths.
