Carrot road wetlands The single track road south of Eaglesham village passes this tiny lochan shortly before coming to an end at Carrot Farm. Often it looks like little more than a boggy corner of a field. The picture here looks north across this little lochan. Beyond the skyline the ground falls away towards Glasgow.
