Set-aside Strip

The wide grassy margin between the ploughed field and the estate road must surely be a strip of set-aside for the benefit of wildlife.

Through the Trees

The estate road here is flanked by a wide strip of trees. At the far side of the field is Gordon's Hillock.

Woodside Lodge

It would be more accurate to say that this crossroads is beside the site of Woodside Lodge, as everything around it is smothered in Rhododendron ponticum.

Old Reservoir

We had noticed a building on the map, so went to see what it was. It turns out to be a reservoir, built in the second half of the 19th century as part of Cullen Water Works.
