Have never noticed this wall or bit of structure when walking towards Broomhill House from Asda. Think they must relate to mining or railway. @urbanprehisto any idea?

Wandering up at the old railway this morning. Taking in the gorgeous old trees and river gorgeous, with the once tallest railway viaduct over inland water.

I'm backing Clutha Archaeology Group through @coopuk Local Community Fund membership.coop.co.uk/causes… #ItsWhatWeDo
If you stay within 15 miles of Hamilton you can also support Clutha by selecting them as your cause. Change the miles to 15 to see if you are close enough.
At least I have a different jacket on. 🤣
When talking about pottery, here is a video from our CAVLP days of the tile kiln we built at Chatelherault.

Do love seeing old estate plans and maps.
A farmhouse and cottages at Drumlanrig, designed in 1830 by William Burn. This is a good example of the type of farmhouses and cottages built in the 19th century.

Gift from my neighbour and good friend. Grapes grown in Costa da Raploch-Larkie.
Grapes grown on a vine in my neighbours garden. No idea how long the vine has been there.
Would the Hamilton's of Raploch have a Vinery at their castle?

On the to do list
One of the largest collections of Pictish carved stones in Scotland is in the old schoolhouse in Meigle in Perthshire. The tallest is 2.5m high and might depict Daniel and the lions: or the execution of Queen Guinevere. More pics and info: undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/m…
ALT The old schoolhouse in Meigle in Perthshire. The image shows the interior of a large, white-painted room that extends up to a brown wooden roof with roof beams and skylights. There are a dozen or so grey carved stones on display, some on stone plinths and others on green bases above the green floor. In the centre of the room is a large carved standing stone covered in pictures of people and animals.

Growing up never realised the history that Nemphlar village had. But here is a chance to own a pie of history, a family home with remnants of a former Bastle House.

Chopin recital in Low Parks Museum on 23 October, acknowledging Chopin's time in Scotland. Tickets available via quaytickets.com/sllcboxoffic…
Thanks for this @Fluffy_LeMonde nearly all of the references I was aware of. Not bad for someone who doesn't frequent the toon of their birth and schooling very often.

Took a while to realise what the Stanrigg Park was in memory off. The chunks of coal in the park should of made me realise.
The #Stanrigg Memorial #Plains North #Lanarkshire commemorating the loss of 19 lives (11 bodies were never recovered) following a sudden inrush of peat bog into the underground workings July 1918. A melancholy place in spite of the sunny skies #MiningHeritage #MiningMemorials

Parked on the couch, washing machine on, Westfield Story on TV. Sitting listening to the fabulous score, as know lots of it from my days playing in orchestra. ❤️

Was good to nip into Govan Old today, catch-up with Professor Driscoll and Dave from @ArchaeoClyde Glad I went as this year might be the last year of the excavations as they are in the corner of the kirkyard.
A day of two halves.
Fintry in morning to backfill before the rain came in properly.
Govan to catch-up on the dig at Govan Old, in the sunshine.
