I walked round Strathclyde Loch on my way home from Sonya's, not as warm as the previous week but still lovely for Scotland in Spring. I wasn't over excited by the park, generally a bit grubby and uninspiring, presumably it was better when it hosted some of the commonwealth games back in 2016. Work walks along the Tweed during the week, I stumbled on Littledean Tower, the 'tower and fortalice' of Littledean was associated with the Kers of Littledean, and became the centre of their barony of Maxton. It appears to have formed their principal residence until the eighteenth century. Local tradition states that the site was abandoned in favour of nearby Nenthorn when the head of the household was gored to death by a prize bull. On Saturday both boys had a play in the arena.
