Rose Cottage

Few motorists speeding by on the B7016 Biggar to Carnwath road will notice this wee 19th-century dwelling, so completely is it screened by the surrounding vegetation. Only a glimpse of the roofline, and chimneys old and new, peep above the hedge. No roses are in evidence, but there is a fine display of rowan berries.

Hardly even a hamlet, just a farm and a few houses along the B7106 Carnwath to Biggar road. On the right, almost completely camouflaged by trees and shrubs, is NT0142 : Rose Cottage.

While there are obvious economic advantages of forestry developments, I do feel that they are not scenically desirable. I remember when there were no trees beside the road and the views were extensive both to the left and right.
