The Molendinar Burn was the site of the settlement that grew to
become Glasgow, and where St Mungo founded his church in the
6th century. It was later used to power the growing town's mills.
It flows from Hogganfield Loch in the north-east of Glasgow, into
the Clyde. It was covered over in the 1870s (by what is now
Wishart Street). The point where it flowed into the Clyde caused
silting, which allowed a ford to be made at the Saltmarket. This was later
dredged.
