The Glasgow Tower, built as part of the regeneration of the local area after the dock had been closed in the 1970s and filled in in the 1980s, can be seen through the trees behind it. It opened in 2001.

The former Prince's Dock Auxillary Accumulator Tower opposite the old Govan Town Hall on Govan Road in Glasgow. Built in 1911, its design is based on a campanile, a free standing Italian bell tower.
It was constructed to power a hydraulic coal hoist for the Clyde Navigation Trust. It's one of the few structures left from what was once the largest dock the city.
