Later I'm going to tell you something facinating about this "loch"

The one of Strathclyde Park it looks like the buildings were built in a circle to protect the mountain.

This "loch" is quite vast and touches 3 towns...Bothwell,Hamilton and Motherwell...At the Bothwell end its quite historic,for there are the remains of Roman Baths...and a Roman bridge...Below are some pictures of these....

So that's a little bit of history...I cant give you dates for these Roman ruins...but I've heard mention 2nd Century A.D.

... now I want to go fishing, and later to visit a Roman bath, is it possible?

... but seriously thanks for one more great posting

Earlier I mentioned a secret.....Here it is!!

In 1884 there was a village called Bothwellhaugh..It was a mining village, with a thriving colliery,and 500 houses to accomodate the miner's and their families.
...As times changed,and the need for coal lessened, and young people moved away...and the village became ghost town.With merely handful of residents left.The council wondered how best to clear the land.....Many proposals were brought forward...but the one acted upon,was to flood the village...As it sat in downhill hollow...
...Today that area is Strathclyde "Loch"..So you see underneath all that water there lies an intact mining village.If you are a diver you may go down and visit a village of the past....which will lie there for eternity......They call it "The Drowned Village"....

BOTHWELLHAUGH.....

So you can see what lies below all that water

Let me know what you think!!!

And a few more pictures....Enjoy...

freebyrdflyingOP•Oct 13, 2011•London, Greater London, England UK

A few more Fiona,then I'll stop posting....I do get quite over zealous,dont know when to stop....

...Speak to you later....

freebyrdflyingOP•Oct 13, 2011•London, Greater London, England UK

That's all....

the last one pic is soooooooooo romantic

I will post my next puzzle whne I'll be out of my blue mood...

montecito•Oct 13, 2011•Lovely, New Jersey USA

I love the black and white photos of the town. Am I to understand that the town is under the water where the man is fishing? If so, how did all that water get there? Those winter snows scenes are to die for.....every woman's fantasy of romance.. ho hum..

freebyrdflyingOP•Oct 13, 2011•London, Greater London, England UK

Yes,the village of Bothwellhaugh is under the "loch"..I put that in inverted commas,as it's a man made loch...Well,I don't know how they done it...I expect,just used some very large hose pipes...It's a lotta water!!.....

Thats what you call a real clean up, but I think it is sad, the history of a way of life gone..... It looks nice but children can never go and see whear they came from.... I like to bring my children to see whear my family came from to visit the graves
