At this point on the A960, in Toab, the owner of the house on the right has planted willow, rosa rugosa and other shrubs in the shelter of a natural dip in the land where the Suquoy Burn runs. He's extended the planting up the sides of the burn as well (the line of shrubs in the background, at right angles to the road).
