Field Visit (17 March 2015)
First established in 1956, this river level monitoring station stands on the south (west) bank of the River Clyde at Hazelbank. It now comprises little more that a rectangular hut with a flat roof but there was formerly also an aerial cable way here which was destroyed in a storm in 1998. The level of water in the river is now measured using a float in a still well.
