The Greenock Cut is a leat built to supply water from the reservoir to Greenock. It was built in the 19th century and features ingenious overflow valves which self-maintain the flow using a bucket as a counterweight to open or close overflow gates in the main channel. This is the water divide above Braeside where water is channelled off to serve that area of the town.
The Greenock Cut path is a very popular walking (cycling and horse riding is also allowed) trail that follows the cut from the visitor centre in a big loop of the hillside.
