The buildings at the far side of the field are the buildings at Scone Airfield. They are in the next square, but the swathe of green is in this square.

Warning Sign

This isn't something to be taken lightly. People who get between a cow and its calf, and especially people with dogs who get between a cow and its calf, have been attacked and injured or even killed. Though I am curious why people would be using this particular gate in numbers large enough to warrant a warning, because the map suggests that the track doesn't really go anywhere in particular.
