This is a female. The males are coloured rather differently, being predominantly white.

At the top of the embankment is one of the area's core paths; the section shown here is about 90 metres further along the route that is shown in Image Winds of up to 80 mph have driven the waters of the River Clyde against the embankment, destroying this part of it, and undermining the path's tarmac. Before the storm, many days of heavy rain had already caused flooding in other parts of the town. For a later view of this part of the route, see Image For damage elsewhere on the same path, see Image

This section of the Shore Circular Path was severely damaged by storms: Image Pedestrians were directed around the damaged area, so that the path could still be used while repairs were being made. For the houses in the background, see Image

(Impatiens glandulifera) Another of its common names is Image; see that item for more information. The patch shown in the present picture is beside Image, and it can be seen, not far ahead, in that picture.

The houses appeared only recently, as can be seen by comparing a picture taken a few years earlier from roughly the same place: Image A patch of Image can be seen not far ahead, where the path changes direction. (For the houses, see Image and Image)

At this time, part of the path had recently been damaged by storms and was being repaired: Image Just a few years later, houses occupied the area to the right (north) of the path; see Image, taken from almost the same place as the present picture.

When this picture was submitted, the houses were recent, and were not yet shown in online mapping. The view is from the path at the head of the shore.

The field is bounded on the shore side by a wall; on the other side of the wall is a footpath, part of a shore-side route from Levengrove to Ardoch. For the main description of Keil School, see Image At the time this photograph was taken, the school had been closed for a few years. By 2009, when this photograph was submitted, the fields shown here were being developed for new housing (Image); as a result, the view shown here no longer existed. About halfway up the right-hand edge of the picture, a green track shows the location of the entrance of a former quarry: Image

The route is part of West Dunbartonshire's network of core paths. This section provides fine views out into the Firth of Clyde. The notch, just right of centre, in the distant line of hills marks the course of Glen Lean (Image), which is about 30 kilometres away. The wall to the right of the path encloses Image
