질병 퇴치 그리녹 컷은 1827년에 개통되었습니다. 이 수로는 - 옆으로 걸을 수 있습니다 - 그리녹 사람들에게 물을 공급했습니다. 당시 산업은 호황을 누렸고 인구는 증가했으며 - 질병이 만연했습니다. 신선한 물과 하수 부족은 콜레라 및 기타 전염병 확산에 기여했습니다. 수익 증대 로치 톰(계획을 설계한 로버트 톰의 이름을 땀)에 물이 저장되었고 - 일련의 폭포를 통해 마을에 도달했습니다. 이 폭포는 물레방아를 돌렸고, 이는 공장과 방앗간의 기계에 동력을 공급했습니다. 증기 동력보다 10배 저렴했습니다. 따라서 이 컷은 그리녹의 산업 성장에 기본적이었습니다.

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.

Castle Semple Collegiate Church was founded in 1504 to serve his castle and estate. John, Lord Sempill built the church which was then extended by his son to include the tomb of his father who was killed in the battle of Flodden. Today the church is partially ruined with no roof. The tomb is still visible and remains a good example of a medieval burial tomb.

Castle Semple Loch was part of the historic Lochwinnoch estate. It was a fishing loch and part of the wider drainage scheme that the estate owners created to improve the local land for farming. Today the loch is still used for fishing and water sports. There is a RSPB bird sanctuary along the southern shore and a network of paths and trails that are popular with families, cyclists and dog walkers in the wider Castle Semple Country Park to the north.
