Kirkintilloch, Townhead, Police Station

Headland Archaeology (UK) Ltd was commissioned by DTA Chartered

Architects Ltd to assess the impact that proposed development of land

adjacent to the Forth and Clyde Canal at Southbank Road, Kirkintilloch, may

have on the heritage resource both within and in proximity to the

development area. The proposed scheme consists of the construction of

housing fronting Southbank Road with landscaping of the towpath and

embankment areas lying between this housing and the canal (Figure 1). The

proposed development area, hereafter referred to as the Site, is just under

0.6ha in extent and centred on NGR 265440 673700.
