taken 13 years ago, near to Banknock, Falkirk, Scotland

Auchincloch Burn and county boundary
Auchincloch Burn and county boundary
The fence post to the left is Falkirk-shire (or whatever it is called) and the tree on the right of the barely discernable ditch is North Lanarkshire.

The aforementioned mostly filled in ditch between the two is the visible remains of the old course of the Red Burn as it was here that the natural confluence took place until the Resident Engineer Robert Mackell building the Forth & Clyde canal diverted the course of the Red Burn in 1770 as described in NS7878 : Woodneuk aqueduct and Red Burn.
