[2] It is not clear when the name "Kip Water" was formally adopted for the entire length of the river.

The final stretch of the river from Bankfoot Farm to the Clyde is fairly flat and has been altered over the years by the addition of several small weirs.

[3] The Aislie and Thomson maps referenced above show mills, including a waulkmill, at what is now Ardgowan Policies.

A few hundred metres downstream is a wooden footbridge which is part of the Cornalees nature trail.

There are traces of a bridge at the site of the disused sandstone quarries near the top of Shielhill Glen.

Slightly downstream from this, the sandstone abutments and piers of a three span former railway bridge can be seen at Majeston Farm .

This carried a short lived mineral line from Dunrod to the sandstone quarries in the late 19thC.

Just downstream from Millhouse is a sandstone and steel railway viaduct which carries the existing Glasgow to Wemyss Bay line.
