Remains of Arlehaven

Some mishap has befallen the house at Arlehaven, its previous, idyllic state shown in NS5380 : Arlehaven. The pile of stones to the right, just below halfway, seems to be all that remains, plus some abandoned electrical appliances.

West Highland Way at Arlehaven

The path of the West Highland Way has clearly seen many visitors in recent days, so its line is quite clear at the bottom of the picture, even if its surface currently resembles a ski piste. The distinctively shaped hill Dumgoyne lies in the distance. At top right you can still see the telephone line that served the now destroyed house at Arlehaven ( NS5380 : Remains of Arlehaven ).

Solitary tree

The tree is viewed from the West Highland Way between Arlehaven and Dumgoyach. Higher ground stands to the west as the path sinks towards the Blane Valley; hence the tree's apparent isolation, and the still-lit sky behind it in the middle of the afternoon.
