Linn Park mooch

Went for a wander round the Linn Park again yesterday.  This time we went up to the spot where Mary Queen of Scots was supposed to have stood and watched the Battle of Langside take place.  (Battlefield in Glasgow is built on the actual site of the Battle of Langside trivia fans).

There's a monument on top of the hill to mark the spot, unfortunately you can't see down to Battlefield as there's trees in the way.  Hey, at least it's not flats.

The above is the engraving on the monument to the Battle, that stands on the spot Mary stood while watching the battle rage below her.


Above is the monument, showing the engraving commemorating the battle, and below is another view of the monument.
