Photos from around the Highland Boundary Fault: the first psammite / semi-pelite rocks beside the path, a valley through which the fault runs, and a feather. Don’t ask how long it took to photograph the feather.

On the left of this shot is Duncan's Hill, in the lowlands; where I was standing is on Birnam Hill, in the highlands.
According to the BGS maps of the area, the Highland Boundary Fault runs more or less straight up the little snow-covered valley in the middle.

My photo/hiking friend said he was on the lookout for feathers for another project. I found this one, lying on the ground amongst the fallen leaves; 20 minutes later we finally went on our way again.
