The River Clyde near Parkhead
Image: © Lairich Rig Taken: 8 Apr 2005
The picture was taken from beside the footpath and cycle route, which is also part of the Clyde Walkway. Here, a long straight section of the river flows north-west, towards the photographer's position, as shown on the map. At the time of writing, the map does not depict, at any scale, the power lines that cross the river here, although they, and the associated pylons, can be seen in satellite imagery. The area on the right is part of a tongue of land enclosed within a loop of the river; it is known as the Cuningar Loop (after Cuningar, the name that large-scale OS mapping applies to the nearest part of the tongue of land; that land is set to become the site of a new woodland park).
