Near Corsebauld There's just a small corner of this square made up of rough grazing. It looks as if the whins have been burned, but they are growing again from the roots. It takes more than a fire to get rid of whins.

Bervie Water The water is very clear, although peat-stained. Very tempting, if it had been deep enough to contemplate swimming!

Transco's Natural Gas pumping station at Auchenblae Main distribution line for natural gas passes through this site. Although named the Auchenblae site, it does in fact lie about 4 km from the village of that name. For some inscrutable reason, these sites seem to attract seagulls (also the odd oyster-catcher).
