As the city developed it was covered over and now it primarily runs underground through culverts between here and the point where in enters the Clyde near the tidal weir at Glasgow Green. However, a short section is visible at the surface on the southern side of Duke Street near its junction with John Knox Street.

The Molendinar Burn, Glasgow's third river, disappearing into a culvert near Riddrie Park Cemetery. The original religious settlement from which Glasgow grew, founded by St Mungo in the 6th Century, was built on the banks of the Molendinar, and over time, its waters were to power mills and brew beer.

Some of the last visible remnants of the Glasgow section of the Molendinar Burn as it passes under Duke Street in the east end of Glasgow.
The Molendinar was the centre of the original settlement from which Glasgow grew and in the past it was an important source of water for both people and industry. The section which pass through the city are now mostly covered, but the burn still flows beneath the streets of Glasgow.
Glasgow's Bridge of Sighs over the Molendinar Ravine built by James Hamilton in 1833 to connect the city of the living with the newly opened city of the dead.
