This weigh station appears on an OS map from the 1890s, indicating, it is potentially older than the nearby Finnieston Crane, although it may not be the same mechanism as was originally installed.

The remains of a cast iron weigh station on Finnieston Quay in Glasgow. The long granite panels leading up to it are part of a stone tramway which made it easier for horse-drawn carts to be pulled over the smaller setts used to pave the area, and indicate the weigh station was primarily for carts rather than other vehicles.
