This morning, I embarked on an eighteen mile return trip by bicycle to Eaglesham, a conservation (heritage) village south of Glasgow, Scotland.
In course of this trip I encountered many interesting sites and sights including:
- A Deer Farm.
- Black Sheep.
- A single, white, horned sheep, possibly of the Jacob breed. Refer top of this post.
- Interesting architectural features of the 18th century planned town of Eaglesham.

Armorial Stone in Montgomery Street. probably from nearby Polnoon Castle and 14th century in origin.
- Location of Rudolf Hess’s crash landing in May, 1941 in abortive attempt to bring early end to WW2.
- Trout Fishery.
- The U.K.’s largest Wind Farm. Whitelee is comprised of 215 turbines which can generate 539 megawatts of electricity which is enough to power up to 300,000 homes.
Overall, a rewarding trip.Weather was benign although visibility was influenced by heavy cloud cover.
