Please can anyone tell me anything about Robertson's Pond? It was the scene of a double drowning accident in 1858 and was probably subsequently filled in by the owners, the Caledonian Railway Company. It lay to the east of Pollockshields and near the Shields Farm. It was a popular skating pond, and local youths got very annoyed when workmen turned up to do the infilling, meeting them "with showers of stones and volleys of abusive epithets"!
