Demolition at South Myvot
Work has been ongoing at this old farm for a few years and it is likely to culminate in a new dwelling of sorts.

Pond at North Myvot
The existence of this pond which is permanent except in periods of drought is probably due to minor subsidence incurred by the decaying matter below.

Maryburgh Sidings
This was the spot that the railway sidings used to dump the rubbish from Glasgow took a spur from the main line. The sidings were owned by Glasgow Corporation and named after a steading (which disappeared during the life of the dump) situated on the land.

Soil extraction, North Myvot
This soil extraction operation is a relic of Victorian Glasgow.
The fields around here were a Victorian rubbish tip - what we now politely call a landfill site. Rubbish from Glasgow was transported here by train in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and tipped off the wagons. One hundred years later this rubbish (free of plastics and other modern contaminants) is the deepest black soil you'll find anywhere.

Glacial Meltwater Channel
The burn is so small relative to the wide channel that it cannot possibly be the agent that created the channel. It was almost certainly created by melting ice at the end of the last Ice Age.
