Boulders on Carman Hill
The rocks in the foreground lie between the inner enclosure and the outer enclosure of the NS3779 : Ancient hill-fort on Carman Hill. See that link for more about the fort.
These boulders are about 20 metres south of the more prominent ones shown in NS3779 : Ancient hill-fort on Carman Hill.
The picture was taken as sunlight began to return to the hill; see NS3779 : The summit of Carman Hill, taken a little earlier. NS3778 : Carman Reservoir is in the background.

Carman Hill-fort
This large hill-fort — see Link
(at Canmore) — was identified in 1954 from aerial photographs, and is thought to date from the Early Historic period (Dark Ages). See Link for a Geograph article on the fort. See Link
Carman Reservoir :: NS3778
Known locally as the Dam. See Link (in a Geograph article) for further information. The reservoir, which was officially opened in 1886, is now disused; there is a trout fishery based alongside it. Carman Reservoir was created by damming and enlarging an existing Carman Loch, which was itself artificial: the loch had been created in connection with the nearby Millburn Works; it was also occasionally used for curling.
