Path on Moncrieffe Island
A faint path, presumably used by anglers, on the western edge of Moncrieffe Island in the River Tay. The path is very overgrown, and there are many invasive species of plant including giant hogweed, Himalayan balsam, gunnera and Japanese Knotweed.
NHS UK warns that "If the sap of this plant comes into contact with your skin, it can cause severe, painful burns and make your skin sensitive to strong sunlight."

This small embankment and line of trees is a flood defence against The River Tay on Moncreiffe Island,it doesn't always work as can be seen by the amount of debris deposited against the fence of the allotments belonging to The Perth Working Men's Garden Association.
