Used the car park for the village green. Up and down in 15 minutesAndrew Simmons13/03/2024

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.agentmancuso03/01/2022
