Hats off to the contractors working today to clear snags from below the bridge that led to Polloktoun. Not an easy task especially when the chainsaw had to be used while suspended.

Hope you had a great Christmas and enjoy Hogmanay (responsibly😉)! Our final post of the year is from photos supplied by Carol Donoghue. One is Pollok Park bridge with a great sun effect, the other may need a bit of zooming in. We know what it is, do you?

The lower weir beside the Riverside car park. This was added when Pollok House was built in the mid 1700s, probably just to create a more serene river view from the house, but it had the side benefit of providing a curling rink when the river froze over. (Thanks to Charlene for the clip)
