Trees lining the road near Grange Farm, Muthill One of the few bits of this area of the countryside that wasn't flying a red flag that day - most of this peninsula (if you can call it that) is MOD training area and I didn't want to get shot as a spy/terrorist, so this is as exciting as the photos got!
