A pond in the wood 20yd long * 10yd wide. Not shown on the map, but visible by satellite. I was floundering in the wood from here on, trying to find a way north to NJ 25 26, and resorted to leaving a trail of broken twigs to guide me back. This failed me, and in the end I had to climb a 7' high gate in a deer fence. I'm getting too old for these games.

Abandoned farm at the Suie An isolated house and outbuildings in Glenlivet, abandoned some time in the 20th Century, like many farms and crofts in the area.

The Suie The abandoned house at Suie must have one of the most magnificent situations in the country. It's on a ridge well out of reach of floods, sheltered by hills to the north and east, with a superb view south and west over the Braes of Glenlivet. The burn is the Suie Burn, which joins the Little Livet to form the River Livet. The gate has been replaced since <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2303082">NJ2724 : March gate near Suie</a> was taken.

Signpost near Suie We weren't quite sure what to make of the information on this signpost, not least because we planned to go to the Cabrach, not to Glenfiddich.
