About 12KM to the south west of Caerketton is Cap Law at 497M. It's an insignificant hill on the path from Ninemileburn to West Kip but bright winter sunshine on the frosty grass looks very attractive.

From the same spot as the Capelaw Crossroads picture above but with the camera pointing to the left towards Calton Hill. Two riders were approaching... (Dylan quote). There was no wind to speak of.
