Calderglen Woods Eastkilbride
The Calderglen is situated on the Eastern
Edge of the town of Eastkilbride in Scotland.
The Glen was carved out by glacial action some
50,000 years ago and is named after the river Calder
which flows through it.The glen is heavily wooded
and provides cover for a variety of species
like deer, rabbits, foxes, stoats and badgers.I have
seen herons, dippers, pied wagtails, wild ducks and
greenfinches to name but a few of the birds that live
there.The river supports trout, sticklebacks, catfish,
frogs and newts.There are many spectacular waterfalls
in the glen which freeze solid in winter.The sides
of the glen rise some 100-150 feet above the
river in places.The ruins of Calderwood castle stand
in the north end of the woods and to the east lies
farmland.The picture on this page is of the
entrance to the nature trail through the Glen in the
St.Leonards district of the town taken one very cold winter.
I have included some pictures of the frozen waterfalls and the
surrounding farmland.Click on the hyperlinks to see the pictures
