NS9866 : Open Land behind Blackburn

taken 2 years ago, near to Blackburn, West Lothian, Scotland

Open Land behind Blackburn
Open Land behind Blackburn
Only a small fraction of this grid-square isn't taken over by urban development. This land sits between houses at the NorthEast of Blackburn and the M8 motorway; it contains a number of paths - unmarked on even the most detailed online mapping - and a great deal of rubbish.
Like a lot of semi-wasteland it has a certain appeal and feeling of discovery about it. The piles of mossy stones in the foreground sadly don't seem to tie in with any previous structure around here though - they are probably just the result of ground getting cleared for woodland or drainage ditches.
