Mini-roundabout on Netherlee Road

Netherlee Road meets Brenfield Road at this mini-roundabout. Netherlee Road splits Cathcart Cemetery in two and a gate into the northern section lies behind.

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.

Tree in flood

This slight hollow stands at the bottom of a slope in Linn Park popular for sledging in winter and egg-rolling on Easter Sunday. After the last few days' heavy rain quite a lot of water has collected there - not a particularly unusual sight in the winter.

Bridge over the White Cart

The bridge is viewed here from a little beach just to its south, on the other side from the view shown in NS5859 : Bridge over White Cart Water. Since it is just upstream from the waterfall (NS5859 : Waterfall in Linn Park) and not far from the Clarkston Road entrance (NS5759 : Western entrance to Linn Park) it sees lots of traffic from the Park's visitors. The river is not usually quite as tranquil as it was this afternoon.
