NS3976 : Land near Young's Farm

taken 10 years ago, near to Renton, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Land near Young's Farm
Land near Young's Farm
Dalmoak Farm, as it is called on the map, is also known locally as Young's Farm. For the farm buildings themselves, which are indistinctly visible in the central part of the background, see NS3876 : Dalmoak Farm and NS3876 : Dalmoak Farm from the A812.

The present view of the adjacent land is from beside a NS3976 : Footbridge on Cycle Route. When a swollen River Leven encounters an incoming tide, the burn that usually flows under that footbridge can back up, contributing to flooding in part of the field, as shown here.

At the time this picture was submitted, an application for Dumbarton FC to relocate their football stadium to land near Young's Farm was pending: see NS3976 : Land beside Young's Farm for further details.

On the flooding, compare NS3977 : Cycle path crossing flooded field, taken a little further upstream (just beyond NS3977 : The Blue Bridge) on the same day as the present picture.
Mains of Cardross

Mains of Cardross was a farm near the River Leven, 550 metres ESE of present-day Dalmoak Farm (Young's Farm), with which its former fields are now associated.

See a Geograph article — Link — for much more on this area and its relation to the site of the Cardross residence of King Robert the Bruce.
