Autumn Berries on Show

This year (2021) both Rowan and Hawthorn berries are really putting on a show. The image shows an information board in the Woodland Trust Scotland Lendrick Hill car park, and you can also see the footpath marker signs on a post in the foreground. The path signage is appreciated by visitors, especially when they have not had an opportunity to plan their walk. The circular path sign is for the Great Trossachs Path, one of Scotland's long distance trails. See Link

Old milepost

Just east of Loch Achray is another of the 4 Bonnybridge Foundry posts remaining in situ on the 9 miles of A821 from Kilmahog just north east of Callander to Loch Katrine. Although painted regularly it would be good to see these posts dug out to their full height of 120cm.

Old milepost

Vegetation and soil are gradually creeping up from the base of this milepost near the church. Also the black paint on the lettering is disappearing. CALLANDER 8 MILES/STIRLING 24 MILES is on the left face with TROSSACHS HOTEL/¼ MILE/LOCH KATRINE/1½ MILES on the right.

Low Water Levels at Glen Finglas Reservoir

Water levels in the reservoir do fluctuate of course, and in summer 2021 interesting things were revealed because of a dry spell. The Glen Finglas Woodland Trust Scotland Estate Ranger made this lovely video: Link

in July 2021 showing the past revealed. See NN5307 : Viewpoint on the Glen Finglas track for similar photo to the above, taken in 2011. Completed in the mid-1960s, Glen Finglas reservoir feeds its water into Loch Katrine - major source of water for Glasgow.
