Now that is a great picture.
Plenty of parallels and well framed.
Have a gold star Mr N.
Seconded...not a view we see very often, was that taken from the Dalry Moor Road? That's a good spot.
Brilliant!
Thanks, guys! The shot was taken, as Tony thought correctly, from the Fairlie (Dalry) Moor Road, just along the farm road which leads north about half a mile up the hill.
