I remember watching a fascinating documentary a couple of years ago about a guy who took cine film of the Bothwellhaugh mining village near Hamilton. The whole village disappeared when they created the loch at Strathclyde Park.
Anybody else remember the programme ?

Dont recall it Peter but it would be interesting to see it...especially as I used to play on the parks at the Bothwell Haugh side of Strathclyde Park.
