Looking along the A721 from Carluke at the junction with the A70 to Carnwath (straight ahead) and Carstairs Village to the right. I doubt that many people will now remember that until the mid 1960s this road junction looked totally different. It was in fact a very large road traffic triangular island, so large in fact that on any of the approaches to the island, you could not see the entire island. It simply looked as though you were approaching a fork in the road.
