A monument to the lost Lanarkshire of Bothwellhaugh in Strathclyde Park to south of Glasgow. Known locally as The Pailis, the village created in the 1880s to house miners working in Hamilton Palace Colliery. At its peak, this mine produced over 2000 tonnes of coal a day, and the village was home to around 2000 people.
