011.07 A hole in the River Clyde about 25 feet deep, having a constant eddy. Well known to fishermen. The name is taken from a chapel which is said to have stood where the slopes of the Clydesdale Junction Railway are now. - about 2 chains from the side of the River in Bothwell Parish. At the place written there was, about 10 years ago, an open spring said to be strongly impregnated with Iron. It bore the name "Chapel Eddy Well" while open. Since it has been covered over the name has not been applied, but the spring may be seen issuing itself into the River where the dot is shown on Trace. The proper Eddy is on the Blantyre side of the River, between the side of the water & the first arch. Since the Bridge has been made there is as great an Eddy at each arch as the "Chapel".
