NS4481 : Outcrops beside the Finland Burn

taken 7 years ago, near to Blairquhomrie, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Outcrops beside the Finland Burn
Outcrops beside the Finland Burn
One rock, near the centre of the picture, has been eroded or undercut in such a way as to give it a mushroom-like shape.

The Finland Burn itself was known by various different names in centuries past: see NS4481 : The Finland Burn at Red Brae.

(Other details not captured by the photograph: on the day I took this picture, I followed an NS4381 : Old boundary; the day was hazy, increasingly so as time went on. On the whole, there was little sound, but, when I was in the area from which the present picture was taken, I could, despite the intervening high ground, hear some shouts and strange noises coming from about a mile to the south-east: these were not calls for help, but, rather, the sounds of someone listening for an echo; this went on for some time. See NS4579 : Valley of the Knockupple Burn.)
