Abandoned machinery, Fawn Wood, Gifford There was a building mapped near here during the 20th century, in the brief period that there was a railway station nearby. My guess is that there was a sawmill here.

Clear fell and replanting, Danskine Lodge The northern end of the Yester woodlands have been felled. There are a lot of logo adorned No-tices about, but the more offensive ones seem to have vanished, although there is still an English style keep to the path one in Gifford. There is a very exceptionalist attitude here and they are sadly getting away with it.
