NS4278 : Old boundaries forming an enclosure

taken 6 years ago, 3 km from Bonhill, West Dunbartonshire, Scotland

Old boundaries forming an enclosure
Old boundaries forming an enclosure
The light snow cover here serves to accentuate some features that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to discern in a photograph.

Entering just right of centre at the bottom edge of the picture is an old boundary heading NE, a continuation of the one shown in NS4278 : Old boundary. Not far ahead, a boundary branches off to the right (heading SE), visible as a dark line, of brown tufts of vegetation, passing almost through the centre of the picture; after about 50 metres, it turns left to head NE.

As for the main boundary heading NE, it, about 40 metres ahead, curves right until it is heading SE; it continues to the Spouts Burn.

The result is that an irregular shape is enclosed: it is almost 50 metres square, its edges oriented NW—SE and NE—SW, but it has some rounded corners. That enclosed space fills most of the width of the image, and it lies just beyond the dark line that runs across the centre of the image.

The glen of the Spouts Burn is on the right.

See NS4278 : Old boundary for a view in the opposite direction from about the same place.
