Transmitter masts at Sergeant Law

These are two of a group of three masts on a hill called Sergeant Law. These two are near the summit of the hill, while the other one is further to the ENE: NS4559 : Transmitter mast at Sergeant Law; see that item for further information. There is a Serjeantlaw (farm) on Roy's Military Survey of Scotland (1740s-50s), showing that the hill had its present name at that time. A "law" is a round/conical, generally isolated hill.

Possible standing stone

The stone is about a metre tall, and it stands about 380 metres to the north-east of the summit of Sergeant Law. It may or not be an antiquity, but I have recorded it here because it appears to be very similar to other stones nearby that are marked as antiquities on the map: NS4560 : Standing stones at Gleniffer Braes. See NS4559 : Possible standing stone for another view of this stone, and for further details.

Possible standing stone

The stone is about a metre tall, and it stands about 380 metres to the north-east of the summit of Sergeant Law. It may or may not be a genuine antiquity (it has not been recorded as such), but it caught my attention because it appears to be very much like other stones nearby which are considered to be standing stones, and which are marked as antiquities on the map: NS4560 : Standing stones at Gleniffer Braes. For this reason, I feel that the stone is worth pointing out and recording. For another view of this stone, see NS4559 : Possible standing stone.

Track near to Neilston Electricity Substation

There was no unauthorised access beyond this point, as SP Energy Networks were doing some kind of work up ahead. The 'goal posts' are to show maximum height of vehicles for working under the power lines which cross over the track.

Electricity pylons

These large pylons are just south of the Neilston Electricity Substation. This image was taken to replicate the first image for this square NS4459 : Neilston Substation taken and submitted in 2005.
