As reported by Glasgow Live, signs have been up at the beauty spot for a while warning the public not feed the birds as it encourages them to flock and spread the bug.
The council say six swans were found dead and two others had to be put down. They added it is feared the outbreak could have a severe impact on the bird population. A spokesman for the council said: “It is likely that an outbreak of the virus at the park has the potential to have a significant impact on its bird population.
