Dry Arch, Dalcrue, Perthshire.

The "Dry Arch" is part of a road system that connected Lynedoch House with Scone Palace allowing the gentry to travel between their big houses without coming into contact with the common people.

Moneydie farmland

Low shelters or stacks, possibly pig arks. There is still some woodland here, but there was more, when the OS popular edition was surveyed in the 1920 s.

Lane to Cosnakie Woods

Lowland Perthshire has a dense network of small lanes, ideal for riders and cyclists. Watch out for strange folk in orienteering kit leaping out of cars and taking photos though. Sunday morning and the riders are not yet out.

Cromwellpark

An industrial estate hidden away along the course of the Almond. As well as a series of new units, there are several sites of old factories, this has been an industrial site for sometime. Almondbank was a centre for the textile industry including dyeing.

Quarry or marl pit, Cromwellpark

The land to the north and east of Perth is a pleasant mix of farmland and largish woods. This square follows the pattern with several oakwoods. The trees here are around a manmade depression indicating some mineral was once extracted here. The field has the appearance of set aside land. Note the ubiquitous neighbourhood watch notice on the telegraph pole.
