Giant Hogweed.

The Almond is cursed with all of the big three invasive alien plants. Here is an example of the Giant Hogweed, notorious for the effect its sap has on skin, sensitising it to ultraviolet light. A garden escapee, native to the Crimea.

Cycle path, Barnton.

Path between two well defended golf courses, now part of NCN1 up the east coast of Great Britain. A useful way in and out of Edinburgh from the north and west. The Barnton area contains many old trees especially oaks and this path runs through them. It also links two very expensive housing areas.

Drum Brae.

Small but notorious hill in the suburbs of West Edinburgh. A busy road, it's fine most of the time; it's a tricky thing in ice or snow.
