Backmuir of Liff

Walking in Camperdown Camperdown Country Park used to be a golf course. Now the former greens are wild meadows with narrow paths mown into them for convenient walking. Over and over again one encounters these green lanes between tall trees. Lots of dog walkers around, but also lots of space to get lost.
