After crossing the Rotten Calder (river) and passing through the replanted woodlands on Brickworks Hill, the Clyde Walkway crosses the River Clyde by means of this lime green footbridge (about thirty metres to the north, a rail bridge also crosses the river). On the far side of the footbridge, walkers can choose either to keep heading east into Uddingston, or to turn southwards, following the River Clyde for about a mile to arrive at the impressive ruins of Bothwell Castle.
