DOWSING THE MOLENDINAR
The Molendinar Burn once ran from Hogganfield Loch all the way to the River Clyde. On the way it coursed around the Necropolis, where St Kentigern brought the scourge of Christianity to the Good People of Scotland (as that place became known).
Nowadays the Burn is a sewer, which can be viewed at only a couple of places within the city. In deciding to follow it from where it decants into the Clyde to its source we were tracing the historical gut of the city as well as venturing into the Bad (diet) Lands of the East End.
