Trackside vegetation, Dumbuck

The trees beside the National Cycle Route 7 (Glasgow to Balloch) and former Caledonian and Dunbartonshire Junction Railway, have blackened trunks. This betrays the presence of the whisky industry, the black being a fungus which lives off ethanol in the air. All surfaces near bonded warehouses are blackened by this fungus.
