IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Broomhill Crescent, ALEXANDRIA, G83 9PW

The site in question is, roughly, the location of the buildings slightly left of centre, that is, the ones behind the left-hand end of the fence. The farm was shown here on the first-edition OS map (surveyed in 1860) and on later maps throughout much of the twentieth century. The viewpoint is from the point where a track first enters a built-up area, which is part of Broomhill Crescent (Image), in the Beechwood and Wheatcroft Estate. For a view in the opposite direction from the same point on the track, see Image Followed in that direction, it leads to the current location of Image; see that picture for further comments.

The path leads right around the outer edge of Beechwood Estate, although here, on the northern side, it is separated from the estate by an old dry-stone wall and by a strip of woodland that is older and much denser than that crossed by the path itself.

The path leads around the outer edge of the Beechwood and Wheatcroft Estates. Not far ahead, it meets a Image

Next to the road to Highdykes.

This is a view along a footpath (not very distinct at this point) that leads around the outside of Beechwood Estate (some of the houses in that estate are visible in the middle distance); the footpath begins at the gate that can be seen in the right-hand side of the photo. A farm track also begins at that point; see Image, where the same gate is visible. The background hill on the left is Overton Muir, with Image just visible in front of it. For a closer view of the houses visible in the present photograph, see Image

This is part of an area of housing called Beechwood and Wheatcroft Estates (built 1980s–90s).

The view is from near the start of the core path that is described in the end-note. Compare Image, taken from a little further back.

The photo was taken from the same point as Image, but is a view in the opposite direction. In the distance, the far side of the steep-sided valley of the Murroch Burn is visible, crossing the background from left to right. Behind that, and filling only half of the width of the image, are the Lang Craigs, at a distance of 3 km: Image

As the map shows, the Red Burn flows parallel to and not far to the left (southeast) of the path.

The core path referred to in the end-note begins at this point, at the northern edge of Beechwood Estate (the area of housing indicated on the map); the route follows the track, which is a continuation of a road within the estate (Image). For view from further along this route, see Image, Image and Image, and, in the opposite direction, Image Just beyond the gate, a less distinct footpath leads off to the right (Image), heading parallel to the edge of the housing estate, but separated from it by a strip of woodland.
