Finlathen aqueduct
This bridge was erected by the Dundee Water Company between 1846 and 1847 to carry a water pipeline from the Monikie reservoir across the Dighty valley to Dundee. An expensive undertaking but probably cheaper than tunnelling under the Dighty burn. The aqueduct was once covered with turf to prevent the water freezing in winter and to keep it cool in the summer. The bridge now serves as a foot and cycle path for Fintry residents. And it still carries two 10-inch water pipes. The blue plaque in the centre is a mosaic carrying the legend ‘Spirit of the Dighty’.

Old "Treelopper" climbs Pitkerro Road
Taken at the junction of Kingennie Terrace (now redeveloped and renamed).
This old bus was used for training purposes and its butchered top allowed Transport staff to lop tree branches overhanging the bus routes.
On the horizon, just in front of the bus's upper deck front window can be seen a snow covered Craigowl - highest peak of the Sidlaws range at 455 metres - about 9 kilometres to the northwest
