Strathclyde Country Park


An interesting walk today. We set off to walk Stage 3 of the Clyde Walkway from The Water Sports Centre at Strathclyde Park and walked eastwards.
 

Looking up the Loch


First glimpse of the Clyde


We found a tiny baby frog or toad?


This is the Ross Viaduct. I was hoping to see Ross House but the view was hidden by the trees.



Green veined White I think?




We had out picnic at this idyllic spot
 
 

This is the Lime Walk of the Dalzell Estate beside the Clyde. We decided to turn left at the end of this path and walk back through the estate. I had picked up an interesting leaflet at the Water Sport Centre about the Estate.


The Dalzell House which is privately owned. It has 18 apartments within it. Beautiful, beautiful building
 

The Covenanters Oak. 800 years old


The Yew House


A fine view of Lanarkshire


Mallards on Strathclyde Loch


A great walk today with my biggest sister Lila ( I have 5 big sisters) my brother Normando and sister in law Kate. We walked over 8 miles and all felt it didn't seem far. There was lots to see,
