It is a private bridge, erected by the proprietor of "Clyde Iron Works", in the Monkland Parish for carriage of minerals by rail from and to the Caledonian railway. High embankments will be raised in this parish, (&/at) Rutherglen, but at present there is nothing more completed than is shown on our examination traces. "Cullock Burn" will pass under a portion of the embankment previous to its entering the Clyde, at about (Holinks') distance from "Rosebank Bridge".

Transcriber's notes

'Holinks' also looks like it could be '40links' run together.
Not sure how to add line for other entry on this page so just put it in continued entries section.
