Recently built - it took me longer than it should to realise MMX stood for 2010. It is an interesting area round here - everywhere has the feeling of being natural but well looked-after. There aren't a great deal of fences about, and gardens seem to merge into fields. You know that you are probably far enough away from people's houses for it not to be encroaching on private space, but then again you're rather glad people aren't pottering about in their gardens while you're exploring! I may be wrong but I'm imagining it's mostly private land as opposed to farmland. Modern maps show Annetscross Bridge, a short distance NorthEast of here, as the point at which the water changes names from Bog Burn to Murieston Water, but older maps call this part Murieston Water too. The recently built house above is called Tor Whitie; it is named after the very small hill South of here. Tor Whitie is still shown on the most up-to-date OS paper map as a natural feature.
