Looking up the Leithen Water Towards the conifers of Glentress Forest. The background block were newly planted when I walked down that slope in 1987. The name Glentress suggests that the forest was going to be a lot larger, including Dod Hill where I was standing. Glen Tress itself is below and right of the picture and remained unplanted.
