Volunteer here, banjo thanks for your comment. I follow the Association of Speakers Clubs guide lines. There are three subjects that are not discussed. These are sex, religion and politics. However on the subject of miners. Picture is of the Bothwellhaugh Memorial in Strathclyde Park. Opposite M & D's behind the bushes. It is a stone cairn with two plaques. One commemorates the existence and subsequent demolition and flooding of the village when Strathclyde Park was constructed. The local council and others involved went to pains to retain the Roman Bath Foundations but nothing was kept of the Miners Rows owned by the Duke of Hamilton as far as I am aware. The BBC Scotland made a documentary of the village and the people who stayed there. My voluntary work allows me to mix with the elderly in Lanarkshire and some ladies and gents have some stories to tell as they either lived in Bothwellhaugh or knew people who resided there.
