Burnt Plantation near Denholm in The Scottish Borders Enclosed in drystane with odd bits left to birch and, as here, heather and moss. The curves on all its sides would have given shelter from a complexity of airts although whether or not that was its purpose is not in my ken. Its occupants this day were Scandinavian timbers - of previous incumbents there was no hint!
