Yoker Burn Tributary (Rising)

Ian Smith Court, Clydebank, Dumbartonshire.

Stream rising (probably now lost to land drainage) for minor stream feeding into the Yoker Burn. Between this rising and the confluence with the Yoker Burn this stream flowed in a wriggling loop roughly following the curve of Abbot Crescent.

Alternative Names: None recorded.

Notes: It is likely this stream has been entirely lost to modern surface water drainage but the streambed once formed the boundary of the Clydebank Police Burgh. It is also likely from the wriggly character of the burgh boundary to the northwest (marked T.D. or Tile Drain) that before the fields on either side were extensively drained and later built over, the stream may have been open to the surface along more of its length (possibly to as far NW as the Forth and Clyde Canal at Whitecrook).
