| Comment | A wee bit of fun trivia.
The loch at Strathclyde Park is not natural and was man made in 1975. It was created by rerouting the Clyde, which runs nearby, to basically cause an intentional flood.
The site of the loch was once a village called Bothwellhaugh, which was all demolished in the 60s to make way for the creation of the loch and country park. The name of Bothwellhaugh survives as the name given to the sports pitches next to M&Ds. Every year the past residents of Bothwellhaugh, who were all forcibly decanted to neighbouring areas, meet up in the park for an annual get together. |
