![Swing bridge at Old Kilpatrick. The bridge is on the Forth and Clyde Canal. Unlike the bascule bridges to be seen nearby on the canal (see, for example, [[3542538]]), this one pivots around a vertical axis.Erkine Ferry Road crosses the canal by means of this bridge.

![The Lanarkshire and Dunbartonshire Railway, Old Kilpatrick. I first thought this to be a canal, but it is a flooded trackbed of a railway which closed in 1951.See [[1701526]] by Richard Webb – 01 September 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/47/24/1472492_fc7a33b8_120x120.jpg)
![Remains of Old Kilpatrick railway station. For the main item on the former railway station, see [[1701526]].The 1:10560 OS map of 1899 shows the buildings of the station (which were on both sides of the line) as extending to the edge of the platform. The brickwork that is visible just left of centre in this photo is what remains of the near side of the building, while the tiled surface a little further away is apparently a part of the original interior. Although it is not shown here, the wall on the other side of the old line has much the same appearance, including a very similar tiled section.The footbridge associated with the old station is still visible nearby; it is behind the photographer's position, and is shown at [[1701528]]. by Lairich Rig – 05 February 2010](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/70/15/1701530_e1430300_120x120.jpg)
![Dismantled railway line at Old Kilpatrick station. Even in winter, when this photo was taken, the dense tree cover ensures that very little can be seen of this channel (compare [[1472492]]), whether looking from the footbridge that passes above it, or from the adjacent canal path; I had to scramble down the steep embankment for a slightly better view.This now sadly litter-strewn and partly water-filled channel once carried a railway line; the part of the line shown here was where Old Kilpatrick railway station was located, and the resemblance to a modern station platform is clear enough when examining this area at close quarters. (To highlight the effects of almost half a century of neglect, compare the older photos at the Canmore link in the end-note.)In addition, just a short distance ahead, the walls on either side of the (former) line still show some tiled sections, which would have been on the interior of the original station buildings: [[1701530]].A footbridge, mentioned above, is still in use, crossing this channel to provide access to the Saltings (a nature reserve) from a path alongside the adjacent Forth and Clyde canal, but it was originally the footbridge associated with the railway station; the photograph was taken from beneath that bridge, which is shown at [[1701528]].The book](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/70/15/1701526_f200cbaf_120x120.jpg)
