In 1979 this was the western edge of Perth; there was farmland, Letham Farm, behind the cliff of council flats on the left: NO0824 : Western side of Newhouse Road, Letham, Perth, late winter, 1979. Now, housing estates extend west to the A9 dual carriageway: NO0824 : The A85 Crieff Road crosses the A9 Perth bypass gives a flavour. The roundabout ahead, in NO0824, is at the top of Rannoch Road. The view, from the junction with Burghmuir Road, right, continues across the valley of the River Almond and the wooded ridge to its north, to the slopes that mark the southern edge of the Highlands. Snow still covers the distant Perthshire hills.
