taken 18 years ago, near to Plains, North Lanarkshire, Scotland

Plains lines
Plains lines
This photograph was taken from what was then a cycleway laid on a former railway line between Bathgate and Airdrie, closed in 1982 but which has been re-opened as an electrified railway, necessitating the relocation of the cycleway. Beyond the white house can be seen an evergreen conical conifer and another tree to its right in winter plumage and immediately behind the trees there is an embankment, sloped off behind the conifer. This embankment was part of a branch to a couple of short-lived 19th-century coal pits, Ford and Meadowhead (not as stated in NS8067 : Barblues, Cycle path "Barblues: Cycle Path" the branch to Boot's factory at Rawyards, which was further west). The cycleway has, however, been relocated on to the east end of this short branch from Barblues.
