Top of embankment

As related in NS3975 : View to Broadmeadow Industrial Estate, embankments were created on the eastern side of the River Leven in order to reclaim an area called the Broad Meadow.

What looks like a path in the present photograph is a concrete walkway at the top of the embankment (there is also a footpath here; it is out of shot, but is located just a few metres to the right of the concrete walkway). The walkway begins at the point from which this photograph was taken, and extends northwards for a distance of about 150 metres, mostly through trees. That area of riverside trees can be seen directly ahead of the line of the path in NS3975 : Footpath beside the River Leven.

The River Leven can be seen indistinctly through the vegetation, while the only visible part of the skyline shows part of the distant peak of Ben Lomond.

There are some white willow trees growing here beside the walkway; one of them can be seen here as a small, pale tree, just right of the centre of the image.
