Snowdrops beside the Water of Girvan Occasional patches of snowdrops enjoy the sunshine alongside the Water of Girvan at Killochan Estate. The flowers have to fight their way through the previous year’s brambles and nettles.

Snowdrops in Lovestone woods My previous visit to this site in March 2021 was too late to see the flowers in bloom. The snowdrops were lovely this time though the February sun was only just reaching the slope.
