Roadside strip, Pitfichie A good time to be on the road: runners were on Pitfichie Hill in a hill race and had only just cleared this bit of road. The strip on the right has some mature beeches.

Park, Monymusk An area set aside for Pétanque with the hill runners course marked coming in from the road. At this time runners were climbing Pitfichie Hill and Cairn William. Across the road there are some new houses arranged in a square like the older village centre.

Event HQ, Cosmic Hill Runners A hill race was in progress on Cairn William, and the prizes look appetising. We never got bottles of wine when orienteering - then again, hill runners often miss out on the often beautiful maps.

Monymusk Square Just the place to blob out when out on the bike (I was not), with picnic tables in the centre of the village. Over the road there were teas in the Community Hall.

Monymusk Parish Kirk The classic view from the village green of the 12th Century tower of what is thought to have originally been an Augustinian Priory. It was rebuilt twice in the 19th Century and in the second of these (1891), the 'bad' crenellated parapet was added. Despite this, the church is A-listed: <span class="nowrap"><a title="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB15987" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" href="http://portal.historicenvironment.scot/designation/LB15987">Link</a><img style="margin-left:2px;" alt="External link" title="External link - shift click to open in new window" src="https://s1.geograph.org.uk/img/external.png" width="10" height="10"/></span> .

Monymusk Parish Kirk View from the south-west. The church dates from the 12th Century but has been heavily rebuilt several times over the last 800 years. The unusual arrangement of windows on the south side of the nave date from 1822 and reflect reformed worship: two large windows either side of the pulpit (against the south wall at the time) and smaller windows for the pews (lower) and galleries (upper). Traces of the 17th Century minister's door between the large windows are just visible. The interior was reconfigured in ca. 1930 to a west-east nave/chancel orientation.
