Open space, Ruchill
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 1 Oct 2012
The picture was taken from Image; this site lies between that road and Balmore Road. The space is open because this was the course of a railway line, namely, the LMS Hamiltonhill Branch railway line (LMS: London, Midland and Scottish Railway). The line ran SW-NE here; on the far side of Balmore Road, a car park is also oriented along the former course of the line.
