The area was chosen by environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful as the scenic backdrop for the launch of the next phase of its high profile Upstream Battle campaign to highlight and tackle plastic pollution at our waterways.

Since the campaign was launched in April, there has been a wealth of additional clean-ups involving East Dunbartonshire Council officers and dozens of enthusiastic volunteers.

In addition, various bulk items were removed including three folding camping chairs, an office revolving chair as well as a car tyre.
