Hogganfield Loch is part of a series of kettle ponds in the area that date from the last ice age. Hogganfield Loch is part of a public park and bird sanctuary. Hogganfield Loch is the source of the Molendinar Burn, a key influence in the siting of the City of Glasgow by St Kentigern. Hogganfield is 4–5 miles from the city centre of Glasgow |

 Map
of Drumpellier Country Park
Drumpellier lies to the west of Coatbridge. The park was formerly a private estate and given in 1919 to the Burgh of Coatbridge for use as a public park. It was designated a country park in 1984. Drumpellier Country Park contains two natural lochs ( one being a Site of Special Scientific Interest - SSSI ), lowland heath, mixed woodlands and open grassland. The Monklands Canal lies towards the southern perimeter of the park. The lochs and the canal attract a large number of water birds, both resident ( such as swans and mallard ducks ) and over-wintering migrants, and the loch shores and woodland floor provide an abundance of wild flora. The woodlands are also rich in bird life, small wild animals and many types of fungi. |
