Path from Milton Brae

The picture was taken from the point where the path starts; it branches off from the side of the road, which is called Milton Brae. The path, part of a route called the Crags Circular Path, heads in this direction (WNW) for about 120 metres, before turning to head SSW (see, for example, Image). It eventually meets the A82: see Image and Image The route of the path is marked on the 1:25000 map. (Note that the Crags Circular Path itself is considerably longer; see http://www.geograph.org.uk/tagged/the+crags+circular+path#photo=5309264 for a selection of photographs along that route.) The gatepost on the right is one of a pair flanking the driveway to a house. There is a cut bench mark on it, though it is a little overgrown: Image Just to the left of the photographer's position, and out of shot, was a flyer (one of several in the area) protesting against a proposal to slice a huge chunk off the top of Dumbuck Hill. The local planning committee had rejected the proposal, but the quarry operators had appealed to the Scottish Government. This flyer (like the other copies) had recently been modified to celebrate the Scottish Government's decision to reject that appeal.
