Old milepost

Another neglected milepost on the B829 from Aberfoyle in the woods at Laraich. In 2009 it was well painted although not set to its full height. It is an original casting made at the Grangemouth Ironworks.

Old milepost

This original Grangemouth Ironworks milepost is 3 miles from Aberfoyle on the north side of the road, B829, bordering Loch Ard. In autumn 2021 it is almost hidden in the brambles and bracken.

Old milepost

On the B829, the 4 miles from Aberfoyle milepost is on the verge in front of a hotel and is well maintained. This picture shows the makers name each side of the base, GRANGEMOUTH on the left side, IRONWORKS on the right.

Old milepost

IRONWORKS 4 can be seen on the right-hand side of the base of the milepost 4 miles from Aberfoyle along the B829. The original Grangemouth Ironworks was operational from 1884-1900.

Ledard Burn, Winter

Taken from a similar position as this photograph here:- Link taken in spring nearly 3 years ago. Less vegetation and therefore more muted colours are the difference. It is a lovely spot at any time of year.

Little Falls

Lovely little waterfalls on the Ledard Burn near Kinlochard in the Trossachs, with Oaks and Alders surrounding the burn.

Logging road, Loch Ard Forest

High on Uamh Mhòr one of the many rocky ridges under the trees.

Old extraction track, Uamh MhÃ²r

A now overgrown and rotting track made up of small logs. It would have been used for timber extraction. As the slope overlooks Loch Ard, it was not clear felled for scenery preservation reasons and there are now some large trees growing here, trees which would not have survived were this deeper in the forest.

Summit, Uamh MhÃ²r

A small clearing on a steep sided ridge.

Statute Labour Road

Loch Ard Forest. It appears that the code letters at junctions has been abandoned, this was a useful tool for navigating the track network, but there are signposts. The white posts with what appears to be a sign forbidding Norway, are marking an electricity cable. The sign is no digging.

Statute Labour Road

Passing the horribly inaccessible Bad Dearg (left). Lovely birch wood though.

Loch Ard Forest

A hillside where the conifer plantation was felled and not replanted leading to colonisation by birch.

Summit ridge, Bad Dearg

Purgatorial going in deep heather growing over the rotting remains of the conifers that once stood here. I have been here before, orienteering in 1980. That was brutal too.
