Gate on forest track, by Altnacardich This track branches off the main track, and heads towards Inchberry Hill. It is blocked by a high locked gate.
It looks like some of the track has been cleared/improved recently. It may have been used as access for working on the power line.

Forest track, on Inchberry Hill It looks like this area is mostly conifer plantation. But there are a few other trees, including birch and rowan, plus bracken and gorse in the clearings beside the track.
