Gate on the Stoneymollan Road footpath

The path shown here is part of a footpath from Balloch to Cardross.

Until just a few months before this picture was taken, this was a densely-shaded path through the forest, with trees on both sides (see NS3681 : Entering the woods). Now, the area of forestry to the north of the footpath has been cleared, as well as part of the area to the south. Specifically, the remaining forested area, on the south of the path, extends from the gate shown here to the following point: NS3581 : Logging in progress.

Towards the right-hand edge of the present picture, some vehicles, still engaged in moving logs, can be seen.
