Molehills and Lomond Hills
Image: © William Starkey Taken: 19 Feb 2013
Molehills on grazing land near West Balgothrie, with East Lomond Hill visible in the distance. It is estimated that a mole may excavate six kilogrammes of soil in twenty minutes - fifty times the weight of the mole itself (*) - the moles inhabiting this field have certainly been very active. * Reference: The Mole, by Kenneth Mellanby, Collins New Naturalist, Glasgow, 1973.
