Stubble, Beley

Arable land on the ridge running the length of the East Neuk. The area is threatened by wind farmers and there are survey masts in several places. The locals are not impressed.

Cattle, Balkaithly

Mixed farming on the higher ground along the ridge between Kenly and Lingo. The higher ground has attracted the wind farmers. There is much local opposition.

Arable land near Dunino

Higher ground and the farming is mixed with grazing cattle breaking up the arable land here and there. Not all cereal growing either - brassica crops are also grown.

Dunino Law

Not quite as striking a feature as when seen from the north, but it still stands out in an otherwise undramatic landscape (other than the hidden dens).

Tree lined road, Stravithie

Very dark and a bit of a shock after the bright sunlight outside. The road is a potential rat run and has a weight limit on it. It was very quiet on this Sunday afternoon.
