“Strathclyde Loch is more than just water: beneath its surface, Bothwellhaugh, a mining village swept away in the 1970s, vanished. Today, only a cairn remains as a reminder of the houses, schools, and shops. There's also a Roman fort and an ancient road (yes, Watling Street is still here). Final warning: In 2012, a norovirus outbreak left 57 swimmers unconscious. Water caution.

The Cadzow Oaks are around 700 years old. They were planted at the time of Robert the Bruce! Today they are twisted and mostly hollow, they are still very much alive though and support a wide range of animal and plant life.
