Motherwell, North Lanarkshire
★★
Swans, ducks and geese patrol the shores of Strathclyde Loch: the large water body at the centre of Strathclyde Country Park. The park is an important leisure space for the nearby populations of Hamilton and Motherwell, and holds regular sporting events in and out of the water. A leisurely stroll around the loch takes a couple of hours, with the remains of a Roman bath house, boat hire and a cafe all on the route. Not forgetting M&D’s, Scotland’s biggest theme park on the north side!
