St Rollox Flint Glass Works, No 76 Kennedy Street, Glasgow This works was founded in about 1838 by Cochran & Couper to make table glass. Latterly it had two small glass cones, which had both been cut down in height. These structures acted as chimneys for the glass furnaces, the draught air also cooling the glass blowers who worked round the furnaces. This shows the eastern cone and its house from the south. The other is to the left of the two-storeyed block on the left. In 1964 this part of the works was used as a motor repair workshop by Shearer & Scott Ltd, whose office was in the base of the cone. The Cochran of the founding partnership was probably related to the Cochran of Kidston, Cochran & Co, who rebuilt the North Woodside Flint Mill in about 1846. The St Rollox works was demolished in 1966 to make way for a road improvement scheme. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN. '
