White Stripe A stripe is another name for a burn, and the White Stripe drains the hollow here, though it's pretty much hidden by the vegetation. The puddle in the foreground is still covered in ice, although it's early afternoon.

Scotch Argus (Erebia aethiops) This species is almost confined to northern and western Scotland. It flies only in late July and most of August, but it is very plentiful this year.

Fishwives' Path The waymarked route of the Fishwives' Path deviates from the route used by the fishwives who used to carry fish from Buckie to sell in Keith. Instead of going straight past Drodland it diverts to the west, passing the former smithy at Fernking and the following this path, which was originally the only access to the smithy. Since we last walked it (see <a title="http://www.geograph.org.uk/geotrips/1702)" href="http://www.geograph.org.uk/geotrips/1702)">Link</a> it has been diverted again, now using a forest road instead of the continuation of this path.

Not the Fishwives' Path The last time we walked the Fishwives' Path, the waymarkers directed us along this path. They now direct us along the forestry road to the right. It may be that this path is blocked further up by fallen trees. We did not go to investigate.

Clear Felled Forest There's nothing quite so untidy as the devastation left when the forest harvesters move out, but it won't be long before regeneration hides the worst of it. The distant hill is Knock Hill.

Addie Hill The Fishwives' Path follows the gap in the forest to the summit of Addie Hill. I looked in vain, again, for the remains of the King's Cairn to the right of the path.

Inquisitive Cattle The cattle all came over to take a look at us as we passed by. I suppose a party of walkers is something different to investigate. Fortunately there is an electric fence between them and us. Cows are bigger than I am, and they can run faster, and they can be quite aggressive if they think their calves are being threatened, so I always prefer to avoid entering a field where there are cattle, even though the Land Reform (Scotland) Act 2003 specifically entitles me to do so provided that I do no damage and do not endanger myself or anyone else.
