Too right! Brilliant stuff!

Like I say, they've now built a proper access road onto the "apron". This must have been done since the satellite image was taken... http://www.majhost.com/gallery/purplepantman/Dougall/peat2.jpg For no reason, here's a pic from the same spot looking south. The building on the left is the ...

I haven't looked at your links yet but have you noticed the way the peat is on each side of the Telegraph Road between Longriggend and Caldercruix? Yes, I've seen it and it's not pretty is it!? There's a good picture of it on Geograph... http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/146236 The effects of both p...

Great pictures and great find there Icecube! Don't think I'd be going much nearer the mine though, looks a bit dodgy. I see we got a guest appearance from "the dug" too! I agree; it's a wonder there's any bits of the Antonine Wa' left at all in that area. I'm sure if they were to apply for...

A large bottle of water and a dog's bowl in the boot completes the picture.

I really am laughing at that!

but I had my dog and was a bit worried he'd go in. I know what you mean. Dogs can be a great cover for when you want to go snooping around but they can also get you into all sorts of bother. ::): I've got some other pics taken a few months ago before the foilage made the remains almost invisible to...

Does Hidden Croy [well quite nearby] come under this thread? It works for me! No pics of inside or were you a big fearty? (Like me!! 8O ) How did you find that? Doesn't look very big though. Wonder if there's anything showing on any maps? Questions, questions, questions.......................

All credit to mrsam for this gem!!

Now where it belongs, on the HC thread!....

Love the Cumbernauld one!

Now being transported to the HC thread...


Cumbernauld

I'm know what you mean mrsam. Don't think it's for that purpose though. It's really old and made of iron and looks quite immovable. By that I mean it appears to have been built to take a great weight or withstand enormous force. It's also only about 2 to 3 feet tall. You may be right though - I'm no...

"Jean's hole is dark, wet and awfy deep" ::): I don't fancy finding out, there's all sorts in there. That place has been a fly-tippers haven since Roman times. They used to travel down from the fort at Castlecary especially to dump their old chariot wheels n' stuff in there. There's a per...

Any of you new towners know where Jean's Hole is ? Only "hole" I've heard of is Annie's Hole, which is an old pit on the LHS of Fannyside Rd as you travel up from Abronhill. It's usually full of washing machines and old tyres but was looking okay on the day this was taken. Not heard of Je...

Ah don't know ah walked past it. Blame the varifocals ::): I'd imagine it might have had a spindle or shaft protuding from it that was driven by an electric motor - possibly to do with the chain/rope system that pulled the hutches on the tramroad but thats a guess as I don't know if it lines up wit...
