City Lights
from Allermuir
1152 x 864
235K 		Photographed just before 5pm early in December. The sun had set but there was still some skylight and a bright full moon. Down below the slopes of Allermuir, at the right of the picture are the bright lights of the A720 city bypass as it heads below the A70 Lanark Road before curving away westwards past Wester Hailes and Sighthill.

199K		 Yes, it's that sign again. Somehow it survives. Castlelaw Hill is the background in this image.
Allermuir View nw07
1152 x 864
135K 		A shaft of sunlight illuminates one of the pink bings which dominate the landscape between Broxburn and Winchburgh. I think the mountain in the left background is Ben More. The big chimney belongs to Longannet Power Station, beyond which the River Forth curves north towards Alloa. Kincardine Bridge is visible. The Wallace Monument can just be discerned on the hill behind the chimney.

Looking into the far distance from Capelaw Hill. Just to the right of the chimney we can see the Wallace Monument silhouetted on top of its hill. Ben Ledi is the leftmost peak according to general consensus. Opinions differ regarding the others. Thanks to those who emailed me - informed opinion is always welcome.

Allermuir Summit Plaque 04
1152 x 864
227K 		The view from Allermuir is largely similar to that from Capelaw, above. It's only about 40m higher and one kilometre east so this plaque should help with identification.
