St Germains Loch

Very secluded loch in Bearsden. In fact impossible to even see unless you ignore a few "Private Residents Only" type signs.

Sign for Drumchapel Hospital

Not a general use hospital, but a rehabilitation hospital for mainly older patients who have suffered strokes or are suffering from general ortho-geriatric conditions.

Traditional Drumchapel Houses

Before renovation of the area began, the houses all looked like this - now very few houses in the area do.

This peaceful part of the Science Park feels miles, rather than a few hundred yards, away from the busy roads that lead in and out of Glasgow. An ideal spot to recharge the batteries when at a busy conference.
