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.

Love this old sign on the Art Deco style former Riddrie Cinema on Cumbernauld Road in Glasgow. It's a reminder of it heyday when its facade would have featured neon lights.

The former Riddrie Cinema on Cumbernauld Road in the east end of Glasgow. Constructed in the Art Deco Moderne style, this beautiful and stylish building was designed by James McKissack. It's considered one of the best preserved 1930s suburban super-cinemas in Scotland.

Tenements on Cumbernauld Road in the Riddrie area of Glasgow. These tenements are unusual not only because of the gables on the front facade, but also because they're only three storeys high, when most built around the same time would have been four storeys.

Riddrie Public Library on Cumbernauld Road in the east of Glasgow. Built in 1938 to serve the people living in the Riddrie Housing Scheme, which had been establiahed on a greenfield site in the 1920s, it was the first permanent purpose-built library constructed in one of Glasgow's new outlying housing estates.
