A view to the south from West Wirren, with the course of the West Water visible (centre image) and forestry plantations on Nathro Hill beyond. West Wirren is a good vantage point, with Dundee Law and West Lomond Hill both visible - although almost obscured by haze in this image, which is a reverse view of NO5071 : West Water.
