The clearing indicates the course that was followed by the Lanarkshire and Dumbarton railway line; see Image for further details. Here, the line was lower than its surroundings, and its course resembles a canal after prolonged periods of rainy weather. Not far to the left (north-east) is an actual canal (the Image); just to the right (south-west) of the dismantled line, but concealed by the trees, is a path (Image), and an area of waste ground that was formerly occupied by the Admiralty's fuel depot: http://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/6052
