We planned four Donald’s at the Daer however with a yellow weather warning for wind and rain. We opted for Well Hill to salvage something from the trip. On the way home I stopped at the Telford bridge in Elvanfoot to locate the cemetery where 37 Irish workers were buried during the building of the Caledonian railway
