Kininmonth Primary School

Although the school is close to the main A952, it can only be reached by a roundabout route past the bungalow on the right, presumably for road safety reasons.

Just beside the road near Corse. Corse Farm, in the background, is in the next square.

Sheep at Corsehill

Sometimes a car is useful to hide behind, so that you don't just get photographs of rapidly retreating rear ends of sheep. This field is right beside the minor road at Corse.

Mormond Station

The old station building is now a house on the Formartine & Buchan Way, the long distance path, between Strichen and Fraserburgh. The old railway bridge here still carries mainly farm traffic.

War Memorial at New Leeds

...this Memorial has a much more impressive view from the left hand side of this shot - downhill, which dramatically makes the observer see the cross against the sky - unfortunately this angle was negated by the sun shining directly into shot
