taken 10 years ago, 3 km from Kingscavil, West Lothian, Scotland
Hill pond, Riccarton Hills
This is the largest of the three ponds in the Riccarton Hills. Of the other two, only the one in NT0173 : Agriculture and industry in central Scotland is at least semi permanent. The other NT0173 : Pond in the Riccarton Hills seems to be an occasional feature. To have one of the size of the one in this photo with a surface area of almost 1500m2 is quite unexpected, being located almost at the summit of the hills.
