WINTERWONDERLAND
Gordon Baird has kindly agreed to share his winter experience. December
2010 it snowed and snowed. Freeeezin conditions in Slamannan Scotland .
The photo above may be the best snow photograph on this website. Superb
Limerigg is a village in the Falkirk council area of Scotland. It lies on the B825 road between Slamannan and Caldercruix surrounded by extensive woodlands on the northern side and lying next to the Black Loch, which formerly fed the Monkland Canal, and close to the former boundary between Stirlingshire and Lanarkshire.
The remaining coal pits closed after the Second World War and the energetic Church of Scotland minister, the Rev Alexander Cameron, used his influence as the local councilor to encourage the Forestry Commission to cover the whole high-moorland area in trees. He was also responsible for demolishing the last of the old miners’ rows and the building of some fifty council houses. A keen sportsman he was one of the founders, in 1950, of the first water-ski club in Scotland with excellent facilities on the Black Loch.
