Court Knowe Monument

Description

Court Knowe Monument offers a scenic walk with views of the city and the River Clyde, though the site is not well-maintained. Historically significant as the spot where Mary, Queen of Scots, observed the Battle of Langside, the monument's views are now largely obscured by overgrown trees. The area retains a wild charm, lacking manicured lawns and amenities like benches, which some visitors appreciate. While the historical connection to Mary, Queen of Scots, adds value, the experience could be enhanced by better maintenance and tree management to improve visibility towards the Campsie Fells. Despite these drawbacks, the site provides a sense of history and tranquility, especially during rare snowfalls. Its proximity to Linn Park, another worthwhile destination, adds to its appeal.
