Scope and Content Old Foundry, Lugiebank Road, Kirkintilloch, East Dunbartonshire The Forth and Clyde Canal reached Kirkintilloch in the early 1770s, and was completed though to Maryhill in 1775. Kirkintilloch became very much a canal village, with foundries in particular drawing supplies of pig-iron and coke via the canal, and sending the castings out in the same way. This shows the house at the entrance to the foundry from the wharf on the Forth and Clyde Canal which served it The oddly shaped roof is presumably a replacement for the original. The old moulding shop is behind this house. This foundry was the first of several in the town, of which the Lion and the Star were the largest. The Lion lasted into the 1970s. All have now been demolished, and a relief road now crosses the site of this one. In 1924 F McNeill and Co were making Lion roofing, slagwool, felt and bituminous sheeting.
