On Blackcleugh Rig From the track near to the highpoint of Blackcleuch Rig, looking towards Monynut Edge and Aikengall Community Wind Farm. In between a newly harvested field with the straw already baled, while over the fence the forest has been felled and replanted, though you can't quite see the saplings in this picture.
