Today I took a look at the old Scotts Road which, in theory, runs from Cairnhill Circus (next to Crookston Railway Station) to Hawkhead Road in Paisley. The stretch of the "road" between Cairnhill Circus and Rosshall Farm has never been more than a farm track in all the time I have lived hereabouts, but today it was almost completely overgrown with barely a path through the grass and brambles. No Yellowhammers were present (I have heard tham here as recently as 2020) but the field edges were alive with Ringlet butterflies (perhaps 30+) and other insects including moths, bees and lacewings. Birds were fairly thin on the ground but included singing Whitethroat, Chiffchaff, Chaffinch, Greenfinch and Goldfinch.
