Beech Seedlings (Fagus sylvatica) These odd-looking leaves are the seed-leaves of would-be Beeches, but they haven&#039;t been fortunate in where they have fallen, on top of a divot on the edge of the road, so even if one succeeds in out-competing its fellows, it&#039;s unlikely ever to develop into a tree.

Frost in the Ruts The almost inevitable water-filled ruts at the field entrance were frozen over. This heralded some excellent dry walking over ground that will be muddy when the frost lifts.

Care of Kinnoir Picking a subject point here is a bit arbitrary. The prominent peak on the skyline is Tap o&#039; Noth. To its right, with some wisps of white cloud rising off it, is The Buck, and the slightly nearer low ridge extending to the right again is Clashmach Hill. Lower, and forested, is the Bin of Huntly. To the left of Tap o&#039; Noth, lower down, is Kinnoir Wood. The low-lying ground is the Carse of Kinnoir, and the row of grey sheds is at Rivestone.

Exposed Trees Standing on a ridge and exposed to evey wind direction, it&#039;s not surprising that one of these trees has succumbed to the effets of a recent gale. The prominent hill at right is Knock Hill.
