As the map shows, this is the valley of a burn. The view is from a
NS4475 : Path through the woods.
In the present picture, there is, about 400 metres ahead, on the near side of a block of woodland, a
NS4475 : Forestry track. Much activity had taken place alongside it in recent months.
Compare
NS4475 : Cleared area beside forestry track, which is, in a sense, the opposite of the present view, in that it was taken from that forestry track, and shows the area from which the present photograph was taken (as a dark woodland edge at the far right).
