How steep the braes were, more so in the 20th Century with Craighead bing. Of course the viaduct is no longer there , the pillars being demolished in the last decade. The photo gives a good sense of how wide the Clyde is here and I think this whole area is often hidden from many people in Blantyre not realising that parts of it are still accessible.
