North West from Milton of Panholes Miniature valley just off the minor road. The hillock on left is a skyscraper accommodation for rabbits. The track you can just about make out, continues north into NN8910

Strathallan at Blackford The damp rushy field in the foreground is an indication of the altitude, just below 150m asl, while the clump of trees hide the small farm at Drumhead. Rain is starting to obscure the Ochil Hills, good news for the Highland Spring water-bottling factory from where this photograph was taken.
Milton of Panholes Railway Bridge Bridge takes the railway over the Allan Water.
