Years gone bye

For anyone who has not seen this before. It can be found down around the Garden stream area of the river

Cant remember the proper date but think it was in feb 1830 the river Clyde was in a big spate,estate workers marked the wall as you can just make out in picture by  an oval  scribe and inscriptions on the cliff ,showing the level the river rose to. Next time i am down i will get the proper dates ,unless i manage to get hold of someone who will know.
I have posted some pictures to try and get an idea of the hieght which would have been about 14ft above a summer low this year

Tiny the dog is next apparently died sept 14th 1804,and the grave stone can be found in the undergrowth in the same area.I know its not fishing but i find these things interesting
