Start of the line!
The head of the tramway, as it appears now, that ran down from Newton Quarry across the main road (behind me), along the west side of Newton Tollhouse (where there was a water tank and coal replenishment site judging by remaining structures and loads of ashes onsite) and then continuing south through the woods, along the cutting and over an embankment to meet up with the main rail-line at Lineside. The tramway was laid in the late 1890's/early 1900's - I don't know for sure when it was lifted. Out of sight on the left is the mahoosive hole in the ground that gave birth to Laurencekirk church in Forres amongst other places.

Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus)
Not the sharpest of images, but this is a roe deer watching me in Quarrel Wood. In my experience it's unusual to see more than the rear end of a roe deer!

Sandstone Outcrop
The undulating surface in the centre of this rock face shows where the underlying surface of sand was scoured out by water before more sand was laid down, infilling the channel.
