Shooting Seat at Balgreen Farm
Shooting Seat at Balgreen Farm
The seat isn't immediately obvious, but the ladder to it can be seen clearly, leaning against one of the trees lining the right of the field.
Scottish toponymy - the study of place names in Scotland - is a bewildering subject. 'Bal', it is agreed, derives from the Gaelic 'baile', which means farm, or a settlement, which in the past always formed around farms. However the 'green' in the name could just mean green, or be an anglicisation of the Gaelic word 'greine' which means sunny.
