The remains of a Neolithic chambered cairn on Craigmaddie Muir, near Baldernock in Stirlingshire. Though greatly robbed, it has been identified as a Clyde long type cairn. My own. #TombTuesday #Prehistory #Neolithic #Stirlingshire

Had to stop to photograph these old pollarded #sycamore #trees while out assessing timbers in a farm building yesterday, in rural #Stirlingshire
This tree species was a favourite for planting around farms and estates in the Improvement Era, because Sycamore grows so fast here in Scotland.
It was usually called the Scottish Plane in 18th/19th century records of planting.
Pollarding was probably done to produce useful pole sized timber but the trees also provided shelter and ornament.

Endrick Water drops through several stone pools, or "pots" at Gartness https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54050248556/in/photostream/
At this time of year usually you see salmon leaping there, but sadly not this visit.

Sadly didn't capture any pics of salmon leaping this visit.
Looking west along stunningly beautiful Loch Voil in Balquhidder Glen, Stirlingshire. The glen is a true cul-de-sac, with its western end concluding in the complex mountainous country north of Loch Katrine and south of Ben More.

Today’s trees are from Stirlingshire, a forest that I went to regularly when I lived there: striking steep hills and great views all the way up, and at the tops.
It’s on 35mm film, but I don’t have a note to hand of exactly what - almost certainly an Ilford film as I rarely use anything else for 35mm, probably FP4, but possibly HP5.

Pile of Rubble: Polmaise Castle, Cambusbarron, Stirling
Built in 1865, Polmaise Castle only lasted a century before being blown up by the army due to its state of disrepair.
The sole remains of the property are a large pile of rubble maybe 50m long in a clearing - occasional glimpses of angular stone blocks and roof beams sticking out at rakish angles.
Prints etc: https://shiny.photo/gallery/polmaise-castle
A pretty awesome monster of a tree - a 900-year-old layering Yew in someone's garden. As one does.
Never knew much about my father’s side of the family until we found a box of letters from his cousin. Turns out my great-grandfather (1863-?) was a #railroad pointsman (aka switchman) in #Stirlingshire #Scotland. “The most dangerous of any of the different branches of railroading” says #Wikipedia. Glad he survived! https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switchman
