The eastern-most tip of Robroyston Park. A nice meadow habitat, alive with insects. Unfortunately these included lots of clegs, Haematopota pluvialis (biting horseflies)! The park is owned and managed by Glasgow City Council. Much of the Park was designated as a Local Nature Reserve (LNR) in 2006, and more recently the whole park has been designated as an LNR.
