Roadside woodland

It is usually not a good idea to head off piste from a road layby. Today though I got away with it, nothing unpleasant was encountered. The layby has good defences of thorns but there was a way through to the old boundary fence and a woodland which goes back to the building of the A92.

Great North Road, Mossmorran

When the ethylene plant was built, the road south from Cowdenbeath was realigned. The old road is popular with dog walkers.

Roadside woodland

Watching carefully where I put my feet, I ventured at right angles to the dual carriageway from a layby. The woodland is probably the same age as the road, c.1990.

The road is usually populated with police speed camera vans. Sadly these do not detect photographers who should be concentrating on their driving not their points score.

Old Route of the A909

The A909 was realigned some years ago and left this stretch of tarmac behind.

It's more of a folly than a temple, but makes a nice landmark for the square!

What is this?

Adjacent to the main track through Cullaloe Forest is this object. Water can be heard gurgling within it and there is a pipe which leads a short way downhill to another 'gurgling thing!' There are no markings of any kind on it but it's made of plastic so it's a fairly recent construction and, since there isn't a river, burn or other water source nearby, it may be a natural spring which has been capped by the local farmer as a water source.

The 'Garden Temple'

This folly, sited in Cullaloe Forest, was built in the 19th century by the owner of Cullaloe Estate. It is one of two follies in Cullaloe Forest. See main article Link
