Gate, Dundurn One of the ways into the rather defended woodland around Cnoc a' Mhadaidh. Still hard work over the "stile" on the right.  The sign is an anachronism and should have been replaced many years ago.

Am Bioran A steep rocky ridge above St Fillans. While it leads to a boggy plateau it is a fine route in itself and appears rarely visited. No wear and tear visible.

New forestry track in Gleann Ghoinean From the mountain ridge above south Loch Earn. This prominent track is not shown on the current O/S map (presumably because it has been so recently developed). Several log piles and associated plant and machinery can clearly be seen along the route, which passes eastwards through the plantation and onwards towards Strathearn and Comrie.
