When the weather's glorious Pat - it more than makes up for all the other days when it isn't!
The Stirlingshire/Perthshire area is really beautiful - not just in the hills. It's well known as one of the most gorgeous parts of Scotland. Big farming country too - rolling fields of grain
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
As you said Perthshire I looked at the map. It's near where my brother lives in Crieff and where I've been on holiday, Killin. We went hill walking with my brother near Crieff a couple of years ago. He often walks round there with his 2 Border Collies, he always wears a kilt.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Thought you might like to see the hay bales across the river this morning. The farmers have been working until the early hours of the morning for the last two nights, trying to beat some predicted rain.
Thank you Pat - I used to love haymaking when we had the smallholding - as long as the weather held - we were lucky most years! We had a much smaller acreage and had individual pens for the horses and goats, so we made the old fashioned smaller bales - much easier for us to handle.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
BL - Killin is where the Lawers range of hills are which are in that last pic. It has that beautiful set of falls on the river - Falls of Dochart. Very pretty.
Loch Tay is on the right hand side and the hills are on the left once you've cleared Killin. It's a popular hillwalking area. I was lucky enough to see a Capercaille when I was there many years ago. It's one of their breeding areas.

It was at Trebah by the ponds. Obviously lots to eat down there.
Bit of a contrast to John's tropical pix - my jaunt today on Beinn Each in snowy Callendar. There's a few more on the Forkers thread.
Ben Ledi (where I was a month ago) which overlooks the beautiful town of Callendar
The view from Beinn Each across to the Crianlarich Munros
Ben Ledi from the descent of Beinn Each - the sun glinting on Loch Lubnaig which both these hills overlook
Further down and looking the other way - through Glen Ample to Loch Earn and the Lawers hills beyond

Spectacular! No wonder you love hill walking, Fairygirl.
