Disused aviary in Linn Park
I guess it was an aviary; possibly a reptile enclosure? Anyway it's not been used for some time.
Simshill Road approaching Linn Park Golf Club
Simshill Road climbs uphill to the entrance to Linn Park at the golf club. The actual course is on the behind the hedge on the left-hand side of the picture but a couple of presumably stray golf balls in the grass hint at its presence. Simshill road is traffic calmed at this point and there is a good path for pedestrians.
Netherlee Road
Netherlee Road used to provide a short-cut from Clarkston Road for some traffic heading north into the city. For many years it has been impossible to turn into it from Clarkston road (NS5759 : Traffic Island on Clarkston Road). As shown here, it is also closed to south-heading traffic where it meets Brenfield Road.
