Path through grassland at Erskine
The path is the same one as is shown in Image, but the present view is from further along it. As mentioned in the description for that picture, there are some pitches nearby. Some of their floodlights can be seen directly ahead in the present photograph.

For a view in the opposite direction from about the same spot, see Image
