The pond at Leith Hall There is very little open water remaining as the weed is rapidly taking over. This seems to have been a particularly good year for rosebay willowherb (on the right) which is prolific all over the countryside. To me, it is a reminder of one of the first plants to colonise the bomb-sites in Glasgow which I recall from my childhood.
