Linn Park
​Another great day out in my Glasgow. Every Tuesday I go in search of the 96 Heritage plaques in the city.  I have 56 so far. Today I went over to the    south side. I took the train from the Central station to Cathcart.

I got only three plaques today, but I had a great time wandering along the White Cart Water.
I started at Snuff Mill Bridge. Which dates back to 1624. There was a grain mill which change to a paper mill and then later to a snuff mill during the days of the Tobacoo barons. 

The start of my walk had paved sections. A bit muddy but not Slippy.
Linn is an old Scots word for waterfall. So, Linn Park had to have a Waterfall. I followed the White Cart Water through the Park to see it.
Lovely, well worth the walk.

Another highlight was the White Bridge is also known as the Linn Park Bridge or the ‘Ha’penny’ Bridge. It has circular holes in the cast iron span. 
Only pedestrians are able to cross.

I had a chat with a local who said the water quality on the river has improved so much that otters, kingfishers and dippers are often sighted in the river. I asked him if he personally had seen any. He said no but he knows folk that have.  

Sadly, I had to walk back the same direction as there was tree cutting going on. No problem as the weather was fine. When back I stop for a toasty and pint at the Old Smiddy. My feet were pleased to stop too.
