Saturday Morning Cycle Ride

Saturday, November 17, 2007

Today, is the day of the big Scotland v Italy football match (soccer). You can see this pub/bar is decked out in a suitable patriotic display.
Here is some unusual cress like vegetation growing at the river bank (below).


This is a river valley at Spiersbridge. The pillar is obviously the support for a former bridge.


Here is a weir near to the above bridge support. I believe there may have been industrial activity here in the 18th or 19th centuries, possibly connected with textile dying. There appears to be enough water to drive a mini-hydro scheme!


Another aspect of the stone pillar


Scotland and golf go together. Here are some images of golf in process at Deaconsbank Golf Course
