Site maturing nicely
Our second visit to this site on a Scotland holiday, first time not long after site opened around four years ago. This site is maturing well, trees, hedge screenings etc. A large site with storage facility, but you do not feel in a vast area with the way pitches designed and the now mature shrubbery. Site spotless regarding cleanliness, toilets etc., praise to the wardens. Its country park setting with its loch offers peace and tranquillity. OKAY, TEMPORARILY SPOILT by the adjacent major road works and improvements, but understand from speaking to locals these are due to be completed around March next year. Noted the construction of an underpass which may even reduce further noise level in future. We took opportunity this visit to go into Glasgow, took the train (frequent service) from nearby - around two mile drive away - Bellshill Station. Some twenty mins. into the City, and a combined day ticket include Glasgow subway at £ 6.60, you can use all local trains in area for the day, not just Bellshill to Glasgow and back if you want. Great nostalgic day as we visited Scotland Street school museum, and the National trust tenement house. Much easier than using car to visit Glasgow. Much to do in the area, so don't think this is just a one night stopover site, take advantage of the excellent facilities and the pleasant nature of this site, present temporary roadworks noise excepted.
