We spent about 18 months in one of these council flats, no.39E, somewhere in the block left of centre whose gable end faces the camera. These flats enjoyed a superb view (and sunsets) to the west. The southern half of Newhouse Road, right, climbing a steep hill is truly dramatic. The viewpoint is probably from the Old Gallows Road at its junction with the track down to Letham Farm. The farmland is now blanketed by housing and the A9 road. Beyond Perth, the declivity between wooded hills marks the valley of the River Tay. Note the snow-covered hills in the distance. Scanned from an Agfa CT18 colour slide, ref 79·01·23 (that's not the date taken); taken with a Zenith SLR.
