Unreferenced date July 2009 The South Calder Water is a river in Scotland . It runs west from the high plateau between Shotts and Fauldhouse , which also produces the River Almond, Lothian River Almond , which flows east into the River Forth . The river is known locally as The Cawder . Route The South Calder Water follows a short course of approximately 10 miles, during which it winds round Shotts , Wishaw and Motherwell, North Lanarkshire Motherwell before flowing into the River Clyde at Strathclyde Loch . Between its source and Newmains it follows a wide glacial valley, but after Newmains until its end at Strathclyde Loch in Motherwell, it cuts through a very deep and meandering valley. This valley was filled in at Ravenscraig during the construction of Ravenscraig steelworks to provide a large flat area. The river is therefore placed in a cut and cover tunnel as it passes for approximately 1 2 mile underneath the site, before reappearing at Jerviston . Driving across the now derelict Ravenscraig site gives no clues as to the underground river flowing below. The river ends at Strathclyde Loch, where it used to join directly with the River Clyde. The River Clyde was diverted about 1 mile west of this point in the 1960s to create the large man made loch, which is now fed purely by water from the South Calder Water.

Renfrew Airport was the former domestic airport serving the city of Glasgow until it was decommissioned in 1966. It was located in the Newmains area of Renfrew , approximately 2 kilometres east of Abbotsinch Airfield which would eventually replace it. It consisted of a main terminal building and ancillary buildings, and a main runway which ran west south west of the terminal. Already in existence as a military facility during the First World War , it first handled scheduled flights in 1933 with the first regular destination being Campbeltown . Despite the construction of a new terminal building in 1954 with a parabola arch , it became evident that the airport was unable to cope with the increasing demands for domestic air travel in the 1960s. The final departure took place on 2 May 1966 its destination being the new Glasgow Airport a few hundred metres away. After the airport was closed, the runway became the first urban part of the M8 motorway . Opened in March 1968, it connected the new Glasgow Airport to Bishopton, Renfrewshire Bishopton in the west and Glasgow city centre via Hillington in the east. The entire airport was demolished in 1978. A Tesco supermarket was built on the former terminal site which opened for business in March 1980, and the whole of the surrounding area is now covered with housing. The only trace of the airport left is the Viscount Bar pub which was an ancillary building. It is situated opposite where the main terminal sat. In fiction The airport features briefly in the second novel of a space opera series by Angus MacVicar , Return to the Lost Planet. One of the characters is about to fly back from Scotland to Berlin , but the hero and his companion join him at the last minute on the bus from St. Enoch, Glasgow, to the airport, and persuade him to stay and help them.
