“The park was acquired in 1857 and was laid out by the
world renowned Sir Joseph Paxton. The park was dedicated to the
memory of Mary, Queen of Scots." The park of great historical value
and was the site of the sixteenth century Battle of Langside. One
of my favourite things to do as a child was to visit on a Sunday
afternoon to listen to and dance along with the bands that played
in the bandstand or be entertained by a punch and Judy show. Then
off for a ride on the pony trap. Sadly these activities are no
longer available. In my teens I would take my niece here to play
then stop off for an ice cream on the way home. The Cafe is still
there and still serves what I think is the best ice cream ever.
I dedicate this cache to my niece.
The cache is in a small box so not much room for anything much
and you will need a pen/pencil.
