A Sunday walk and a little bit of local history

It was a nice dry day today and I was able to get out for a 11km walk. My feet a a little sore but that will improve as I get more exercise. There is a map of the route I walked at the bottom of this post. On the walk I sent a few tweets to my twitter page

The photo below is from the top of the hill in Bellahouston Park. It is the remains of the foundations of the Tower of Empire which was build for the Empire Exhibition, Scotland 1938. A picture of the tower is here and a TV news clip about a virtual reality reconstruction of the Exhibition can be viewed here.
