'Improved' land on south side of Lindalla

Lindalla is a hill on the north side of Glen Isla above Kirkton of Glenisla; it rises to 450 metres; it is cultivated over its entire southern side though much of it would be regarded as rough grazing. Crock is the hill away to the east.

Col between Meall MÃ²r and Cairn Gibbs

The wall is descending from Cairn Gibbs. Meall Mòr rises from the col where there's a hill walker about to begin the ascent - a rough and arduous climb hampered by the thickness of the heather.

Trees beside the River Isla, standing and fallen

A bend of the river near to Kirkton of Glenisla with trees standing on both banks and fallen trees on the south side no doubt knocked over during a storm in the winter of 2021 to 2022.

Hill road climbing into valley of Cressfit Burn

The stream drains slopes of the moorland hills, Cairn Gibbs and Knockton. The way initially is unattractive passing apparently abandoned farm equipment and various debris.

Rushes concealing Craigness Burn

The Craigness Burn flows through the bed of rushes beyond which rises to the heather dome of Cairn Gibbs.

Timber stack beside hill track

Timber stacks are generally temporary stores of felled logs prior to them being taken away for use. Occasionally, for some reason the wood is just left in its pile and that's what seems to have happened here.
