Above Whistlefield Hill
Last weekend I discovered that a new track had been laid in the hills above Whistlefield to support the planting of a new crop of trees (you can see the lines in the landscape where the trenches have been dug to drain the land and plant the trees). I followed it as far as I could before it patered out onto open hillside and got this lovely view.

Waterfall Overlooking Loch Long
I've photographed this waterfall on the hill overlooking Ardentinny and Loch Long a few times, but not for a while. When I went there last weekend it looked completely different. The top of the waterfall had been dammed to feed one of 3 or 4 new small hydro schemes that have recently been built in the Ardentinny area. Whilst the waterfall did not look as nice as it used to, it's nice to see so many renewable energy schemes cropping up in Scotland. In fact there has been quite a number of days in 2017 so far where Scotland generated 100% or more of its electricity needs from wind power *alone* :)
