In and around Biggar with a friend of ours.
Learning some history! We started by the bridge in the picture, went through a wood and up a hill, round the wood at the top and down...then found a pathway looping out and round from the town.walking on a small lane, then a muddy track, through a farmyard where they were dosing ewes and putting them out in the field with their lambs. They had a Nicholson hayrake, a tattie hiker/lifter and a plough for turning in tatties...all originally horse drawn and in good if rusty condition. Farmer's wife had started tractor driving like pirate when she was nine..and like him, on baling!

I'll be sure to shut the gate.

ReplyDeleteLovely shots of your travels around.
ReplyDeleteLove the sign about shutting the gate! William Wallace makes me think of the movie "Braveheart," which I haven't seen since it was in theaters (but which I liked back then).
