IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Pappert, ALEXANDRIA, G83 9LL

The path is marked on the 1:25000 OS map, as is the footbridge (as "FB"), which crosses above a road, and which leads from Ladyton (on this side) to Pappert. There is sometimes the temptation to bypass a winding footbridge by crossing the road directly, but not here: the houses on the Pappert side sit above a steep high bank. For a view in the opposite direction from on top of the footbridge, see Image In that photograph, the section of path from which the present picture was taken can be seen on the left, with the same lamp posts visible.

This is the footbridge that is marked as "FB" on the 1:25000 OS map. It leads from Pappert (near side) to Ladyton (for a view back towards this footbridge from the section of path visible on the left, see Image). The houses in the middle distance, on the right, are in Ladyton, but those in the background are in Renton and Alexandria. Carman Hill (Image) and adjacent muirs are in the background, on the right.

The mist had receded earlier, but, resurgent under a cloudless sky, it now reached almost to the top of the housing estates. The view is from the top of Braehead; Carman Hill and adjacent muirs can be seen in the right background.

This was a recent initiative; the garden was created in 2018.

Two different paths lead downhill from the point that is shown in Image; the last part of the more northerly of the two paths is shown here. Both paths lead to this area, at the top of Braehead, where one of the access points of the community woodland is located (as indicated by some markers: Image). See Image for the same view in winter, and for background details.

The gate shown in this photograph is located at one of the three main entry points to Pappert Well Community Woodlands; see also Image The nearer houses beyond the gate are in the Braehead area, while the more distant background houses are in other parts of the Vale of Leven. On the skyline, in the right-hand side of the image, are Carman Hill (Image) and the muirs that lie to its north.

There are three main entry points to this area of community woodland, with a marker, or markers, at each one. The back of the tallest of these three markers can just be made out, silhouetted against the snow, in the following image: Image (in that image, the markers are located in front of the wooden posts that are to the left of the gate). For the markers at the other two locations, see Image and Image

This picture was taken from the point where the path shown in Image turns to the right. This last section of the path leaves the community woodland not far ahead, beside some markers (Image) that indicate one of the access points. Another downhill path leads to the same point; see Image, which shows the end-point of both paths at the top of Braehead. The body of water visible in the background of the present photograph is Loch Lomond.

The path leads to the top of the housing in Braehead, visible ahead.
