Ruin at Kinnell

This looks as if it was part of the WWII airfield buildings at Kinnell. The tree is actually growing in the main room of the blockhouse.

Kinnell

This part of Scotland has a low rainfall, so irrigation is regularly required, especially for potatoes.

Disused Airfield at Kinnell

After use as a wartime airfield and before its current use, local motor clubs used the airfield runways and perimeter tracks for speed events. This photo was taken in 1968 during a 750 Scotland MC sprint. The driver me in my much younger days!!
