Not quite the 4 railbridge but a very plesant view non the less..🚴🏼‍♂️

Cross the Clyde on the Livingstone Bridge and explore his birthplace. The museum is well worth a look, or just enjoy the view of the Clyde from the bridge.

A World War II anti-aircraft battery was sited at Blantyreferme, near Blantyre to the southeast of Glasgow, west side of Blantyre Farm Road. Site number GSG1 (early), S1 (later). Part of the Clyde AA Defences, the site was also known as Blantyre Ferme, Blantyre, or Uddingston. The battery is described as having four emplacements armed with 4.5-inch guns (1942-43 then re-equipped with 3.7-inch guns (1945), command post, magazine, gun store, and other support buildings, with an accommodation camp located to the east. Records indicate the later addition of two further emplacements. A GL Radar mat lay to the northwest of the site, reported to operate Mk II radar in 1942-43. No significant remains survive of the accommodation camp, and while much of the battery and its buildings can be found, the emplacements have been vandalised, some heavily, while others appear to have been lost in the undergrowth. Numerous small details remain scattered about the site, such as small shelters made of corrugated iron sheeting, and ground features which may be related to sewage handling, such as manhole covers. Although a third magazine was known to have been reported on the site, possibly under a spoil heap, this was not confirmed until 2009, when it was found buried beneath the spoil during the winter, when the vegetation had died back, and photographs could be taken of the roof, entrance, and storage bays within. source: https://www.secretscotland.org.uk/index.php/Secrets/AABatteryBlantyreferme

This museum is dedicated to the Scottish explorer and missionary David Livingstone. It utilises a building called Shuttle Row, a former textile mill which once housed 24 families including Livingstone's, and where he was born on 19 March, 1813. These days, the mill is home to a 3,000-piece collection and is set in glorious estate parkland. For more information, visit: https://www.david-livingstone-trust.org.

This medieval castle was built on a grand scale, high above the River Clyde, in the late 1200s. The castle was hotly fought over during the Wars of Independence between Scotland and England, changing hands many times. These days, it is an interesting ruin to explore. Entry costs £3 for adults, £1.80 for children aged 5-15, and £2.40 for concessions.
