Killantrae Burn. View from the High Street bridge, just to the right of 1760964 . Killantrae was the original name of the village, before it was redeveloped as Port William in the late 18th century http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_William,_Scotland . The left bank is overgrown with Japanese knotweed (Fallopia japonica), an invasive introduction from eastern Asia which is difficult to eradicate.

Old pollards near Monreith House. These old pollarded trees alongside the B7085 appear to have been somewhat neglected of late.
