Following on from this tread http://www.walkingforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=36174.msg526881#new I went out with my new camera today for a walk from the house. The weather wasn't so good very overcast and dull.

There used to be concrete steeps here but a landslide three years ago destroyed them so they've now replaced them with wood ones.

There's a silver mine in silver glen, the owner built a huge mansion, Alva House, that was demolished in the 40's but the stables still stands. I think his Lordship's horses were better accommodated than many of his tenants. Alas, the mine was worked long ago.

Very nice Owen! You're lucky having that on your doorstep! O0

Great walking country to have so close - love the fact that the trig ppoint is sheltering from the wind in the summit shelter.

You are very lucky to have those hills so close, lovely shots O0

Thanks for posting this Owen, all too many times I have flogged along the A9 on the way south and not given a second thought to the Ochil Hills. Some good shots there - are you pleased with your new Canon EOS?
"flogged along the A9 on the way south" - observing the speed limits, of course!

are you pleased with your new Canon EOS?
Yes very much, Still getting used to it but very pleased.
