I have a question for the knowledgeable members on this forum.
This year I started fishing on the Clyde at Biggar and I was wondering if the
bridge over the Clyde is called the Biggar Bridge or has it another name.
Also alongside is the remains of another bridge. Was that a road or railway
bridge?
Just another quick question on the area. Further upstream I have been told
that the river widens out. Is that an old gravel workings?
I would be interested to hear about the local history of these places.
I hope that Forum Members can help me.
Thanks Peter

The bridge is calle Wolfclyde bridge and the old bridge was a railway bridge.
There is a old quarry further up the river called Barry's quarry.
Mostly fished for Pike.

wolfclyde bridge or by the older genaration coulter bridge.

Thanks Reidy and Scooby.
I am fishing there quite a lot, so now I know what to call the place.
I heard they propose to have another quarry in the area I wonder what effect that will have on the river?.

Probably disastrous.

If the quarry goes ahead the lamington stretch will be finished for angling for many years.

Clyde River Action Group | How to Object This is the
only way to stop it ? I thought they could not interfere with the natural course of a river system ? if that goes ahead one of scotlands top trout/grayling rivers will be wiped out. That would be criminal.

I have the website in my favourites and have sent the letter of protest to the planners.

I really hope the quarry does not go ahead

Colin,
Do you have a standard letter and the appropraite email address?
I would also send a copy slightly reworded in my name if you have got one.
Maybe others would also if it was put on a plate for them.

Cheers

Munro
