View towards Nether Radernie

This field track is JUST on the western side of the boundary between two squares. The gate, from which this picture was taken, as well. This area around Cameron Reservoir often is the first appearance of snow when driving up from the East Neuk coast.

Ruins along the roadside

Hidden in the bushes and trees next to the road are these derelict steadings. I'm guessing these used to be steadings.

Walls and not much else

A set of ruined buildings, on the grassland on the outskirts of Peat Inn, if Peat Inn even has outskirts.

Core path to Bankhead Moss

Most people probably visit Bankhead Moss from the north, directly from a small car park. But there is a core path from the south (this one here) which starts at the farm track from Peat Inn to Larennie.

Western Dam, Cameron Reservoir

Looking North across the up stream, or Western dam, of Cameron Reservoir which supplies water to St Andrews some 6kms to the North. Drum Carrow, 217m, on the left of skyline is about 2500m away and Cassindonald farm is just beyond the trees centre skyline.

Fields by Cairnhill, Radernie

Looking more or less NW across this square from the high ground near Cairnhill down towards the flats of the Cameron Burn and the reservoir to right of photo. This square is all fields and farm tracks. The highest point on the skyline is Drum Carrow, 217 mts, some 3ks away.
