Track through 'woodland'

Most of the few pictures of this square are taken on this little stretch of path that passes through. But that's not too bad as there is considerable change over the years. Some pictures show large trees on both sides, some only on the left side. And here it is completely barren.

Footbridge over Lothrie Burn

The burn is coming straight down from Ballo Reservoir. A path leads from the dam of Holl Reservoir to this point, then to Ballo Reservoir and back south to the car park at Holl. The dog just tries to give a sense of scale.
