The Geograph project started in 2005 with the aim of publishing, organising and preserving representative images for every square kilometre of Great Britain, Ireland and the Isle of Man.
There are currently over 7.5m images from over 14,400 individuals and you can help contribute to the project by visiting https://www.geograph.org.uk

In fact both Todside and Craighead seem to have vanished without trace. The end of a derelict building at Cotterclump is just visible at the left edge of the dark clump of trees. Having walked over this ground, I am not surprised that it is no longer tilled. It is extremely wet and heavy, and must have been a nightmare to drain and very demanding place to make a living. It is now used only for grazing cattle.
