Forestry, Glenhighton. There is some forestry in Glenholm, even though most of the land is used for grouse or farming. Here near the secluded house of Glenhighton is a view of typical forestry plantations. Nowadays they do not plant close to watercourses to prevent acidification.

Glenholm Road The glen road runs beneath a steep section of hillside which is growing some scrubby trees. This is quite unusual, as the sheep soon see to any growth.

Green Topped Fenceposts I was particularly struck by the sight of the lichen topped fenceposts as I climbed towards the top of Cardon Hill.

Kilbucho Church I suspect the cemetery was used long after the church fell into ruin as there are several gravestones from the turn of the 19th century, unless the building has deteriorated rapidly - quite possible at 1000 feet up. There are worse locations as a last resting place. Hill in the distance is Cardons Hill.
