Grown out hedge. A familiar sight in Wales, replicated here in Renfrewshire. The remains of an old hawthorn hedge, now grown out and just a line of old trees. This is near the upper limits of enclosed farmland in the Calder Glen, but the farm, Heathfield is now a ruin, the land grazed from elsewhere.

Path, Muirsheil Country Park Muirsheil was the second country park to open in Scotland (1970) Rather remote on the site of an old lodge in a sporting estate. The horse chestnuts in the photo probably date to tree planting programme early in the life of the park. A lovely place for a day out with helpful and friendly staff.
