r/Glasgow Tools

Well done for bringing me out of my r/glasgow retirement.

So, The Molendinar (or Molly) does indeed "flow", albeit undergound for almost all of its course. It begins at Hogganfield Loch where it crosses under Cumbernauld Road and runs under the ground where the old B&Q used to be, sharply changes direction and heads in the direction of the graveyard between Hogganfield and Blackhill. Meanders its way down to Molendinar Park where it is visible. Runs its way towards Royston, works it way under the old gas work yards, and then towards the Milnbank end of Dennistoun. It runs under Alexandra Park Street near Coventry Drive where there is a plaque on a wall saying something like "Underneath this point runs the Molendinar Burn". It then runs under the houses somewhere around Ballindalloch Drive. Continues running roughly parallel to Alexandra Parade, immediately north of the Parade. Runs underneath the Arnold Clark and the industrial units next to it. Makes a sharp bank at Wishart Street, runs down underneath Wishart Street and under the Bridge of Sighs, then makes a funny wee forward and back meander into the Tennents Brewery yard and back out, runs under Duke Street just the the side of the old Great Eastern Hotel building (comes out of its culvert at this point and is visible, but hard to access (this is the bit you mention above)) ... Runs along towards the Barras. Runs right underneath Molendinar Street and Spoutmouth before making its final meander towards the Clyde where it spills in just before the weir.

I can go into much deeper detail if required. Fire any questions you like this way.
