"Underwood Lockhouse … was originally stables for horses on the Forth & Clyde Canal [and] also served as a place where people could have a meal, a drink or lodgings during their journey. All that ended, of course, when the canal fell into disuse. Following the re-opening of the [canal] to leisure traffic it was redeveloped as a restaurant ... However … a major fire in July 2013 gutted the building, which still lies in ruins today."
