Used the car park for the village green. Up and down in 15 minutes | Andrew Simmons | 13/03/2024 |
CP for village green due S of top, up old quarry track most of the way. Wandered down to look at the old church afterwards in the twilight rain and was greated cheerfully by 3 out of the 4 people I passed, despite being dressed in rags & covered in mud, must be the friendliest village in Scotland. | agentmancuso | 03/01/2022 |
