On this section of the walk are splendid views across the multi-storey flats and surviving cranes of Greenock to Dumbarton Castle and beyond that the Argyllshire hills from the vantage point of metres above the Clyde. Turning west left you are on the track of the Cut proper; this is generally a very good path, constructed for the workmen to give access to work on the Cut itself.
In summer it was maintenance and weir manning, in winter breaking the ice to keep the water flowing. This track runs almost perfectly horizontally for about three miles, passing many weirs, wasters outflows , old bridges across the cut to the moorland grazing, and former workmens1 huts en route, in a never-ending scene of interesting industrial archeology.
Sadly, all these remains are ruinous, and at places the banks of the Cut are caving in. Surely Lottery Money could be gained for a restoration project? Jessica Anne. May 19, Craig Ferguson.
