Apparently shaped like a letter T, this clump of trees is actually in the shape of a cross. To the left is the artificial ski slope at Hillend. On the right is Caerketton Hill with its scree slopes. Comiston Road (A702) is visible in the foreground. Photographed from Buckstone Snab at the west of the Braid Hills.
