The view is from beside the Image, which I had come across by accident (the trip was unplanned, and I had no map), and it shows the grassy slopes typical of this part of the hills. Barrhead itself is the built-up area in the background. My attention was also drawn to the skyline, and to the small hills visible there. The one at the extreme right is Image in Image ("so called from its resemblance to a pillion" – OS Name Books). The one at the centre of the skyline is Duncarnock in Image, where there is an ancient hill-fort (Image). On the origins of the name Fereneze itself, see Image
