A couple of photos I took back in September 2015, which I thought I’d share with you. This was back to a crazy time looking for the elusive Blantyre tunnel under the Clyde. I didn’t find the tunnel despite a few visits and some very hard digging in the alleged location, but I did stop for a few moment to admire how beautiful the Castle ruins are over the River Clyde. Views from Blantyre side.
The second photo ended up being a little blurry as my camera phone lens steamed up a little with all the hard work digging!

The Blantyre Project interesting. I had heard that the castle groundsmen blocked up something of that description. Wonder if it was the fabled tunnel.
