Mary Queen of Scots Way-Day 7
View of Lomond Hills
Today, was the penultimate day of my west-east hike across Scotland. I covered 16 miles from Falkland to Ceres.
The terrain included tracks, field paths and quite country lanes. The grade was generally flat reaching a peak of 500 feet.
Falkland: A very ancient town with connections to Scottish royalty, principally the Stewarts which includes the famous Mary. Recently used as a set for Outlander.
View of Falkland and local landscape
I encountered this fledgling Thrush bobbing about, seemingly unable to fly. The bird's parents were probably in the vicinity so I left it alone.
Woodland path on departing Fakland
Field of wheat. This can also be used in the whisky industry, usually in blends.
