NS4673 : Deer grid ahead

taken 7 years ago, near to Old Kilpatrick, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Deer grid ahead
The track along Kilpatrick Braes leads to Loch Humphrey. In the 7½ years since an earlier picture — NS4673 : Footpath to Loch Humphrey — was taken (from a few metres further back), much has changed.

The slope ahead, on the right, has recently been planted with trees. A Forestry Commission Scotland sign, visible right of centre, says "Gavinburn: A Commonwealth Wood".

A pre-existing cattle grid (compare NS4673 : Signpost on walk to Loch Humphrey, taken about eight years earlier) is in the foreground, but a new deer grid with an accompanying fence is just beyond it. They are better seen in a view from the other side: NS4673 : A new deer grid.

Just beyond the new deer grid, a path leads off to the right, and up the grassy slope, through the new plantation; see NS4673 : Ascending path in a new plantation for a view uphill from the bottom of that path, and NS4673 : The foot of a path in a new plantation for a view back down towards these grids.
